Wenzel Siding & Roofing | Roofing Services in Waukegan, IL 60085

Signs of underlayment damage often include interior water stains on ceilings or walls, granules from shingles collecting in gutters, or a roof deck that feels spongy. Given our local weather, these issues can worsen quickly. Wenzel Siding & Roofing offers free, thorough inspections to assess your underlayment's condition and provide a clear recommendation to prevent further damage to your home's structure.

Moisture trapped in roof insulation drastically reduces its R-value, making your home less energy-efficient and driving up heating and cooling costs. More critically, it creates a perfect environment for mold and wood rot, which can compromise your attic's air quality and structural integrity. Our team can safely remove wet insulation, identify and fix the source of the leak (often related to underlayment or flashing), and install new, dry insulation to restore protection and efficiency.

The process starts with a detailed inspection to locate all problem areas. We then carefully remove the affected shingles and damaged underlayment to expose the roof deck. Any compromised decking is repaired or replaced. Next, we install new, high-performance synthetic underlayment—a critical barrier against Waukegan's weather—followed by your shingles. If insulation was wet, we ensure the attic space is properly ventilated and dried before installing new insulation. Our goal is a complete, lasting repair that addresses the root cause.
