Signs of underlayment damage often start inside your Faribault home. Look for water stains on ceilings or walls, especially in the attic, or a musty smell indicating trapped moisture. Outside, you might see curling or buckling shingles. Since underlayment is the critical water barrier beneath the shingles, any breach can lead to major issues. We recommend a professional inspection in spring to catch hidden damage from ice dams and snow melt before it affects your home's structure.

First, safely clear excess snow from ground level using a roof rake, focusing on valleys and areas above gutters to prevent ice dams. From inside your attic, check for signs of stress like sagging decking, new cracks in the drywall, or doors that no longer close properly. These can indicate excessive weight. Roofing Plus offers emergency assessments to evaluate load capacity and provide supportive bracing or reinforcement if needed, helping to prevent a potential collapse during our heaviest snowfalls.

For durability against our snow, ice, and temperature swings, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles with a high wind rating and robust synthetic underlayment. This combination provides superior protection against hail, heavy snow loads, and water infiltration. For a longer-term solution, metal roofing is excellent for shedding snow quickly and resisting underlayment deterioration. During a consultation, we'll assess your home's specific needs and recommend the best material and system to enhance your roof's resilience and lifespan.
