This can be a result of the plywood sheeting becoming wet from rain above or from moisture not being able to escape from below and leading to mold mildew growth.
Repairing roof soft spots.
One of the most common questions we receive here concerns roof soft spots.
After encountering a soft spot you ll probably want to go back inside to see how much damage has been done to the roof by pulling back any part of the ceiling that is obstructing your view.
That is one of the reasons why it is important to have your roof checked by an expert professional.
Unfortunately for many camper owners a leak in the interior side of the camper is the first indication that the roof has sprung a leak.
These soft spots usually form when the layer underneath gets soaked due to gaps in the shingles.
That dip in the roof with a soft spot indicates that you should have your roof repaired asap.
Most roofs have plywood sheeting underneath the roofing tiles or shingles.
The soft spot on the roof of the camper is typically a sign of dry rot or some other defect in the roof structure.
A soft spot on your roof doesn t necessarily mean you need a full roof replacement.
This could entail taking off the interior ceiling panels and removing any insulation between the roof and the ceiling.
