ROOFING LOUISIANA PRESENTS: ANATOMY OF A ROOF SYSTEM
This Article Explains The Components Of A Healthy Roofing System – And Why Each Is Important
We Start With A Complete Roof Tear Off – Down To The Deck
You never want to put new roofing materials over any materials that may have been damaged by mildew, mold, or water. We always tear down to the roof deck
to get a clean start
We Add An Ice And Water Shield Barrier
Your roofing system needs protection from areas of the roof where water has a tendency to collect or flow. These areas include the start of your roofline, valleys, chimneys, and skylights. It’s important to prevent water collection on a roof because that can cause an ice dam to form.
The ice and water shield will prevent water from getting under the roof covering and flowing into the attic causing water damage to the home’s interior. Most companies only go 3 feet up from the roofline; Roofing Louisiana ice and water shield for added protection.
Roofing Louisiana Adds A Synthetic Felt Barrier
Synthetic felt can protect your roof for up to 6 months of UV exposure because of its durability. It acts as a secondary water-shedding barrier for your roof once shingles are installed. Your roof needs to be protected from water damage in the attic, such as mold growth and rotting deck boards. One of the first steps to a high-performing roof is using synthetic felt with a quality shingle to help shield your home from moisture infiltration.
Roofing Louisiana Adds Ventilation
To have a healthy roof, it has to be able to breathe. Ventilation is a very important component of your roofing system. Roofing Louisiana uses a ridge vent to allow outside air to flow naturally upward and out of the attic. Proper ventilation will help prevent rotting, mildew, and drywall damage.
