The Different Layers of A Residential Roof
Homes come in all different shapes and sizes. Some are taller than others and the pitch might be steeper than in another home. We have done many roof repair leaks here in Mequon, WI where most roofs use an asphalt shingle. However, this is just one type of roofing material; there are other materials used including cedar shake, slate, rubber or metal roofing materials.
This is only the top layer of your roof, but there are more layers below which you can’t see. For instance, right below the top layer is a protective sheeting that roofing installers put down prior to shingling the roof in order to protect it from moisture. So, even if water penetrates the shingle, this layer can prevent the water from getting into your home and causing a roof leak.
Just below this layer is the final layer made of wood. You’ve probably seen the wood layer whenever you drove past an unfinished home — it’s the plywood you see laying across the top of the home, before the asphalt shingles are added. This is usually a strong layer of lumber so that it can support the load of the rest of the roofing materials that lay on top of it.
You can feel confident in our roof repair services regardless of the material of your home’s residential roof. We are able to repair it and get it functioning back to normal in no time. Call Mequon Roofing to get a roof repair estimate now!
