First, safely check for visible debris like branches or tiles on your roof. From the ground, look for missing, cracked, or dented shingles, especially after high winds. Inside your attic, check for daylight coming through the roof deck or any signs of moisture, which can indicate punctured underlayment. It's best to schedule a professional inspection with a local roofer like us, as hidden damage to the underlayment from debris impact is common in our area and can lead to leaks.

Santa Ana's climate, with its intense sun and occasional heavy rains, can accelerate underlayment wear. Storm debris can puncture or tear it, compromising its water-shedding ability. Once compromised, sun exposure and thermal cycling cause it to become brittle and fail. We use high-quality, reinforced synthetic underlayment designed for California's weather during repairs or new installations, which offers superior durability and protection compared to traditional felt paper.

Our process starts with a detailed inspection to assess the full extent of the damage, often needing to lift surrounding shingles. We then carefully remove the damaged section of underlayment, repair any compromised roof decking, and install a new, sealed section of premium synthetic underlayment that integrates with the existing material. Finally, we re-secure the shingles with proper flashing details. This localized repair, done by our experienced crew, restores your roof's integrity and prevents interior water damage.
