House Ledger Board Repair and Preparation

What happens here

The existing house siding is carefully removed to expose the ledger board where the deck attaches to the house. Upon inspection, significant rot and potential termite damage are discovered, necessitating the replacement of compromised sections of the ledger board. This unexpected issue highlights the importance of thorough inspection and preparation. The damaged sections are cut out using an oscillating multi-tool and replaced with new, treated lumber. After repairs, a building wrap (bituminous membrane) is applied to protect the ledger board and foundation from moisture.

Goal: Repair damaged sections of the house ledger board and prepare it for new construction.
