Anatomy of a pitched roof
A pitched roof is a system of layers, each with a job to do. Here's how it comes together. Layers tagged In this service are part of Leak & Storm Repair.
- 01Roof deck
The structural base every other layer depends on. Soft or rotted sections weaken the whole roof.
- 02Ice & water protection
A self-adhering waterproof membrane at eaves and valleys, where ice dams and wind-driven rain hit hardest.
- 03Underlayment
A secondary water-shedding layer across the whole deck, underneath the shingles.
- 04Flashing
Metal at chimneys, walls, edges and valleys that steers water away from joints.
- 05Architectural shinglesIn this service
The weather surface you see, laid in overlapping courses to shed rain and resist wind.
- 06Ridge ventilation
Lets heat and moisture escape the attic, helping protect the deck and shingles from below.
Typical assembly shown. The exact system depends on your building.
