Gypsum Roof Repair
Materials and Service
Many commercial buildings constructed in the ‘60s and ‘70s have poured gypsum roof decks. While not installed in modern construction, these roof decks are highly susceptible to water damage and may need to be repaired or replaced to avoid leaks. At Nettles, we have decades of experience with gypsum roof repair. We are a stocking distributor of SecurockTM Gypsum-Concrete Patch, KeyDeckTM wire mesh, and bulb tee subpurlins. We also provide turnkey repair and replacement services for poured gypsum roof decks.
USG Securock®
USG Securock Gypsum-Concrete Patch is used to fill and repair damaged areas in the gypsum deck. Composed of calcined gypsum and wood chips or shavings, it can be easily mixed with water at the job site and poured into place as a patch for existing decks. It is specifically designed for gypsum-based substrates and provides a solid, smooth repair that matches the existing material. Securock is noncombustible and used in several UL-approved roof deck systems.
Keydeck® Mesh
This woven wire mesh is used as reinforcement for gypsum roof deck repair. Wire mesh is laid over the form deck, and the Securock gypsum patch can then be poured on top of the mesh layer. It helps prevent cracking and ensures the patch holds up over time, by distributing stress more evenly across the roof deck. KeyDeck is 2” hexagonal mesh composed of woven 19-gauge galvanized wires, with an additional 16-gauge galvanized longitudinal wire placed at every 3” interval of its width.
218 Bulb Tees
Bulb tees are high strength, lightweight steel sections used as structural subpurlins in poured gypsum roof decks. They are essential for providing structural support, and act as the framework on which the gypsum is poured. They also make an excellent bond beam for anchoring structural members, providing a continuous strip for attachment and reinforcement. Most gypsum roof repair will not require replacing the bulb tees; however, if your subpurlins are damaged or you are adding onto an existing gypsum roof deck, Nettles is the only supplier of bulb tees in the country.

Gypsum roof repair FAQs
Gypsum essentially turns to powder when exposed to moisture. The extent of the roof deck decay may be larger than the size of the noticeable leak. We recommend removing the roof membrane and inspecting the entire roof deck for damage before ordering supplies.
One bag of Securock achieves a 9 square foot gypsum pour at 2 inches deep.
One roll of Keydeck mesh is 38 inches tall by 150 feet long, achieving about 450 square feet of coverage.
