The roof deck was sinking in and rotting out the area.
Go To Pin - 2Roof decking completely rotted.
The leak has existed so long that the deck boards are entirely rotted away.
Go To Pin - 3Inside the attic
The attic has major wood rot, and the black and white mold is rapidly increasing.
Go To Pin - 4Nail pops
The nails from the roof are unconsciously popping away all through the shingles.
Go To Pin - 5More nail pops
The homeowner said that on the roof, you would probably see two or more nails popped away, but as I observed, I saw more than 15- 20 nails.
Go To Pin - 6Rusted nails
When the water gets in the shingle regularly, the nails begin to rust, and by the time the nails are rusted, there will be no more foundation to hold the shingle down anymore. The roof will look like these pictures. The main reason why the water gets in is because of the popped nails on the roof.
Go To Pin - 7Nails put in at the shingle unions
The nails are started to rust, and it is now colliding with the shingle.
