looks just wet to me. is that black spot hard to the touch or is it soft and flaky? but if it was me and i was replacing the deck anyway i'd replace the ledger board as well

Is the ledger board attached to the house correctly, or just screwed through the siding?

Looking at it from this side it had no j channel around the bottom. Looks like the siding was put on and this was just compressed against the siding?maggieandyaothecats wrote: ↑ Its a 2010 richcraft home, and i think by the looks its installed correctly....but i am no pro?
Hard to tell 100% from the pic.

replace the old ledger board when doing the rest of the deck. install new ledger board correctly so water won't become an issue.
