Lots of debris has fallen through the gaps, causing bad drainage.

rot in another sleeper

The roof is sloped very slightly for drainage, but the debris has kept that from being very effective.

Here, a screw that was too long was used, going through the sleeper into the waterproof membrane.

More sleeper damage

Extensive rot here

Debris and rot

Finally decided the whole deck needed to be removed and replaced

Sweeping up all the debris. It was a lot!

All swept, ready for cleaning.

First step is to wet it and scrub with a broom.

ready for scrubbing

Cleaning reveals one path for water ingress.

Scrubbing almost done

The "oh crap" moment. Cleaning reveals a soft spot near the door.

Detail of flashing around the stairs

Scraping up the window seal that was used around the flashing and under each sleeper.

The original deck had window seal under each sleeper for additional protection of the membrane.

Cutting away the membrane around the soft spot reveals a big issue.

There are actually two water damaged areas

This whole wall will need to be redone

Used a ZipLevel to measure relative elevations and measure slope for drainage

OSB is 3/4" thick

I noticed the drywall was soft here, started investigating.

Fairly dry up top

Farter down, signs of insects.

Water marks down the inside of the drywall.

Water damage to masonite

All opened up and insulation removed

Extensive debris buildup at the blocking

Masonite is completely destroyed

The double stud here is completely gone at the bottom, as is the next regular stud.

Clean and dry here

Mostly dry at the top - some water marks in ceiling

Another overview shot

Yuck

Continuing to dig out the rot in this corner.

Hard to see, but there is rot along the back of the studs

rot at the back

rot at back

Another view showing rot at the back

Digging out more dirt and some spray in insulation

Pulled out the single stud - water and insect damage all along the back side

After taking out the double stud

This is going to be difficult to repair

Documenting the wires to the switch before disconnecting
