In the wake of Hurricane Helene, assessing your roof’s condition is important. Even if there’s no visible damage, hidden problems can arise, causing leaks, structural issues, and more.

Here are some common signs of storm damage that may not be immediately apparent:

• Shingle Granules: These small, colorful particles protect your shingles. If you notice a significant buildup of granules in your gutters or around your home, it could indicate shingle damage.
• Curling or Cupping Shingles: Shingles that are curling or cupping are more susceptible to water damage.
• Missing or Damaged Flashing: Flashing is the material that seals around vents, chimneys, and other roof penetrations. If it’s damaged or missing, water can enter your home.
• Interior Water Damage: Water stains, musty odors, or peeling paint on ceilings or walls can be signs of a roof leak.

When it comes to roofing, there’s more than what meets the eye. Often overlooked, but a critical component is the underlayment used when installing a new roof. The underlayment provides an added layer of protection and is installed between the roof decking and the outer roofing material. There are various types of underlayment and each type comes with pros and cons depending on the specific outer material – whether tile, asphalt, metal or solar. 

Let’s compare underlayment options and help you determine which is best for you. In this post, we will compare the strengths and weaknesses of underlayments when installing either an asphalt shingle or tile roof. 

Best Underlayments for Asphalt Shingles:

While asphalt-saturated felt is a good option, depending on your regional climate, synthetic underlayment for asphalt may be a better choice as it offers increased durability and resistance to extreme weather.

Best Underlayments for Tile Roofs:

Rubberized asphalt or non-bitumen synthetic underlayments are the best choices for tile roofs while self-adhering membranes are ideal for areas with high moisture or potential leaks.

While underlayment options may seem similar, making the right choice based on your outer roofing material and climate will help better protect your home from leaks and damage. Remember, investing upfront often helps reduce costs from issues in the long run. Consult with a roofing contractor to help make an informed decision that is best for your home.
