Underlayment
& Ice and Water Shield
We use
a self-adhering shingle underlayment that protects your home against ice and
water damage. Bakor is our supplier and is considered #1 choice of Canadian
Professionals and has been for 70 years the leading manufacturer of weather proofing
products, designing them with the quality and reliability that contractors and
specifiers demand. The Underlayment provides a waterproof shield
between the shingles and the roof deck in vulnerable areas such as: skylights,
vent stacks, valleys, eaves, ridges, hips, low slope and dormer areas. Self-Adhering
Shingle Underlayment is a rubberized sheet that protects where shingles don't.
In wintertime, ice and snow accumulates in vulnerable places on your roof.
As temperatures warm up, ice-dams can cause the water from thawing ice and
snow to back up under the shingles and leak into your home. Also wind-driven
rain can be blown under the shingles again causing leaks and interior damage.
