Do I need new underlayment when I replace a tile roof? Often, the answer is decided once the tiles are off. Underlayment is the water barrier under your tiles. Its condition, not the tile’s, tells you whether it can be re-laid or must be replaced. This page offers general information about roofing, window, door, solar, and kitchen remodeling projects in South Florida. If you’re reading this for a family member, or after a leak or storm, that’s a hard place to stand.<\/p>\n

What Is Tile Roof Underlayment and Why It Matters<\/h2>\n

Tile roof underlayment is the water-resistant layer installed under the tiles, directly on the roof deck. The tiles shed most of the rain. The underlayment is the backup. When wind drives rain up and under the tiles, this layer keeps water off the deck and out of the attic.<\/p>\n

Tile and underlayment don’t age at the same rate. A tile roof can look sound from the ground while the layer beneath it has worn down. That gap is why the underlayment question comes up during tile work.<\/p>\n

Water can travel a long way under a tile before it shows up on a ceiling. By the time you see a stain, the layer may have been failing for a while. For a broader look at tile roofing in South Florida, read our tile roofing guide.<\/p>\n\n

Signs Your Tile Roof Underlayment May Be Failing<\/h2>\n

The most common signs are ceiling stains after rain and leaks that return after tile repairs. Watch for these signs after heavy rain, not only in dry weather.<\/p>\n
