ROOF MASTERS • DELRAY BEACH CASE STUDY
Delray Beach Roof Repair: Attic Leak Detection and Truss Repair
Roof Masters completed a tile roof repair in Delray Beach after locating a leak that had damaged the plywood decking and a roof truss upper chord beneath the tiles. The project involved identifying the affected area, repairing the deteriorated wood, replacing the waterproofing layers, and reinstalling the existing roof tiles.

Location: Delray Beach, Florida
Roof type: Tile
Work completed: Attic inspection, leak detection, truss upper chord repair, plywood replacement, new underlayment and cap sheet, tile reinstallation, and cleanup.
Finding the Leak From Inside the Attic
We began with an inspection inside the attic, tracing visible signs of water intrusion to locate the leak. Inspecting the underside of the roof helped us identify the affected area before removing the tiles above.

Exposing the Damaged Decking and Truss
Once the tiles and existing roofing layers were removed, the exposed decking revealed deteriorated plywood and damage to the upper chord of a roof truss—the sloped structural member that supports the roof decking.


Repairing the Wood Beneath the Tile
Our team carefully removed the damaged plywood to access the underlying framing. We repaired the deteriorated truss upper chord, then installed replacement plywood to provide a sound base for the roofing materials.

Replacing the Underlayment and Cap Sheet
With the wood repairs complete, we replaced the underlayment and cap sheet in the repair area, rebuilding the waterproofing layers beneath the tile.


Reinstalling the Tile and Leaving a Clean Finish
We reinstalled the existing roof tiles over the repaired section, preserving the roof’s appearance and blending the work into the surrounding tile layout. To finish, we cleaned the work area and removed repair debris, leaving it cleaner than we found it.

The Result
This Delray Beach project highlights the importance of looking beneath the surface when investigating a roof leak. From the attic inspection through the final tile installation, our work addressed both the damaged wood and the roofing layers above it.
