Roof Tile Underlayment in Scottsdale and Phoenix

What Is Roof Tile Underlayment?

Underlayment is a waterproof or water-resistant material installed beneath your roof tiles. While the tiles provide UV resistance and shield against wind and impact, they are not fully waterproof. The underlayment is what truly keeps water out, especially during Arizona’s monsoon storms or occasional snowfall in higher elevations.

The TraVek Remodeling & Roofing Tile Underlayment Replacement Process

The underlayment process begins with an inspection of your roof’s current condition. Tiles are carefully removed and set aside for reinstallation. We install a premium waterproof underlayment system designed to resist UV, mold, and water intrusion. Once the new underlayment is in place, we reinstall the original tiles in their exact layout, replacing any broken tiles with close matches.

Common types of underlayment include:

Felt Paper (30 lb.): Traditional and affordable, but breaks down faster under heat.

Synthetic Underlayment: Lightweight and resistant to mold and UV, with better durability than felt.

Modified Bitumen (Peel & Stick): Offers premium protection, especially in valleys and leak-prone areas.

Why Underlayment Fails (and When to Replace It)

Even though tile roofs can last 50 years or more, the underlayment typically wears out in 17 to 25 years, depending on the material, exposure, and installation quality.

Signs that your underlayment is failing include:

Water Stains or Active Leaks: Especially around valleys, chimneys, or skylights.

Cracked or Slipped Tiles: These may expose damaged underlayment beneath.

Roof Age Over 20 Years: Even if there are no visible problems, the underlayment may be deteriorating underneath the surface.

Sagging Roof Sections or Soft Spots: Water intrusion over time can lead to wood rot beneath the underlayment.

If your roof tiles are still in good condition, you may not need a full roof replacement. Underlayment replacement allows us to keep your existing tiles, saving you thousands while restoring your roof’s waterproof barrier.
