When replacing a roof, the first step is to install ice and water underlayment. This special type of waterproof membrane is designed to create a barrier between the roof and the elements, protecting the roof from water damage, ice dams, and other weather-related issues. It is typically installed before the shingles or other roofing material is applied and should overlap up the sides of the roof deck and along the eaves.

Ice and water

Ice and water underlayment is a protective material that is placed beneath your roofing material to provide a waterproof barrier. It is designed to protect against water infiltration caused by ice dams, wind-driven rain, and other moisture-related problems. It also helps prevent water from entering your home through the roof and keeps your roof in better condition over time. Ice and water underlayment should always be used when replacing a roof to ensure that your home remains protected from the elements.
