Plumbing Vent & Decking Roof Repair – Marietta, GA
This roof repair in Marietta, GA restored localized protection to a two-story home by addressing damaged shingles, compromised decking, and a failing plumbing vent penetration. The project focused on reinforcing vulnerable areas to improve weather resistance and maintain the integrity of the existing roofing system.
Project Overview
The homeowner reported concerns related to a leaking plumbing vent and visible roof damage. An inspection confirmed isolated shingle deterioration, compromised decking, and a failing pipe boot that allowed moisture intrusion. While the roof did not require a full replacement, prompt repairs were necessary to prevent further structural damage and water infiltration.
The scope of work included removing and replacing damaged shingles, installing new OSB decking where needed, reinforcing the area with ice and water shield, and replacing the plumbing vent pipe boot and rain collar. All repaired areas were properly sealed to restore a watertight roofing surface.
Results
The completed repairs restored proper protection and performance to the affected sections of the roof. Owens Corning Supreme 3-tab shingles in Estate Gray were installed to blend seamlessly with the existing roof, preserving curb appeal while providing dependable coverage. Reinforced underlayment, new decking, and professional sealing significantly reduced the risk of future leaks, leaving the homeowner with a secure and reliable roofing system.
