Imagine, you're standing on the sidewalk, looking at an
average house. You see the siding, the windows, the
front door, and way up above, you see the roof. Does
the roof have asphalt shingles? Wood shakes
perhaps? Maybe it's made of metal or rubber tiles?
What you see is where the focus goes, but it's what
you don't see that really matters. There's more to
roofing than meets the eye. So let's talk about what
goes on, under the shingles.

We learn to crawl before we walk, so when talking
about roofing let's start with square one, the surface
area of your roof which is made of wood. Your wood
roof deck is comparable to an automobiles metal
body. It is installed on top of the basic house frame to
give a surface area on which to install Shingles.
Without a roof deck installed on your house, there
would be nowhere to install your Shingles. And of
course without the shingles, your roof deck would rot
away due to exposure to the sun, rain, snow and ice
and etc...not a comfortable home at all!

On Newer Houses, sheets of plywood or OSB boards
are fastened on top of wooden trusses in your attic to
form the roof deck. Plywood or OSB boards are
installed in a staggered formation with small spaces
between them to allow wood to expand and contract
as the wood heats in the summer and cools in the
winter. Older homes often have lengths of 2" x 6"
installed instead of plywood or OSB board. When the
time comes for you to replace your Roof System,
remember to have your Calgary Roofing Contractor
replace any and all damaged wood.

Remember, if your roof deck is rotting or damaged in
any way, people walking on your roof could potentially
crack or break through the wood, causing further
damage to the roof system, such as to the
shingles...and to the person who walked on it!
However, most roof decks can withstand a little bit of
exposure to water or ice before it needs to be
replaced.

Drip edge and Rake edge is the first part of the Roof
System to be installed. It is a long and narrow piece of
metal which is installed along each end of your Roof
Deck, ie: along the eaves trough and along the gable
ends.
Some area local building codes require the installation
of Drip Edge and Rake Edge and other building codes
do not. Check with your local city building offices to
find out. In Alberta for example, the Building Code
does not require the installation of Drip edge or Rake
edge. Therefore many new homes and/or low budget
roof systems do not have drip edge installed in order
to allow for more affordable roof prices. We
recommend however that Drip edge and Rake edge be
installed on every Roof System, no exceptions.

Drip and Rake edge is available in a variety of
different colors and sizes and can be custom built
for the needs of your roof system. Installing an
appropriate drip edge often saves hundreds and
sometimes even thousands of dollars when your
roof system needs replaced.
If your Roof System does not currently have drip or
rake edge installed, do not panic, you'll survive well
enough. Just be aware that when your roof needs to
be replaced, the Roofing Contractor you may need
to replace some of your wood Roof Deck on an as
needed basis.

Eavestrough
Arguably the most important part of every complete
roof system. The metal installed in the valleys,
chimneys and skylights take the brunt of water flow
on every roof. Poorly installed, a brand new roof
system can make a waterfall out of your living room.
Every chimney and skylight needs what is referred to
as "a back pan", which consists of sheet metal folded
at around a 90 degree angle (depending on the slope
of your roof) and tucks under the shingles and up
under the siding, stucco or counter flashing on the
chimney or skylight. Every back pan needs a small 2"
section of metal sticking out 1" or more from either
side of the chimney or skylight to divert water away
from the corners. Water should hit the metal back pan
and be directed away on either side where it can
continue its run into the eaves trough.

In the same way water runs along the valleys between
two mountains, water runs along the valleys on your
roof peaks. Valleys generally receive the highest
concentration of water flowing through them,
therefore installing them correctly is extremely
important!
As mentioned in the Leak Barrier section, valleys have
leak barriers installed underneath them. Even though
some Building Codes do not require such a leak
barrier to be installed, we recommend installing one
always in every valley.

A word of caution: Many roofing contractors install
valleys in a style referred to as 'closed'. A closed valley
consists of Shingles woven inside the valley, as
opposed to an 'open' valley which has sheet metal
running from top to bottom. Both the 'open' and the
'closed' style of installation are acceptable by the
most Building Codes and by most manufacturers,
however, the 'open' style installation has consistently
out performed the 'closed' style...and costs exactly the
same price to install. Ask your Roofing Contractor to
use the 'open' style of installation for your roofs
valleys, this could save you from having to replace
your roof system prematurely and also can avoid
headaches in the long run. Typically, an 'open' valley is
installed with a 30 gauge sheet metal, 4' wide, coming
in 10' sheets. This metal can be ordered in any color to
match the shingles on your roof system.

Think of a leak barrier as a "second layer" of
protection for your Roof Deck. A backup plan, if you
will, and also a protection against moisture build up.
Leak barriers are nearly always installed on top of the
Drip Edge and Rake Edge metal along eaves trough
areas, gable areas and valleys because of the risk
these areas pose for leaks, ice build up, shingle
deterioration and water back flow.

13. Superior Roofing How To Repair Roof Leak
If you've ever looked at your roof during winter, you'll
notice how ice and snow builds up along the length of
your eaves troughs and inside the roof valleys. As with
Rake Edge and Drip Edge, some Building codes require
Leak Barriers to be installed and some Building Codes do
not. In Alberta, the Building Code requires a leak Barrier to
be installed on all eaves trough and valley areas of a Roof
Systems because of issues related to such snow and ice
build up. As an optional upgrade, some high end roof
systems even have leak barriers installed on top of the
entire Roof Deck (as opposed to only along the special
areas we just mentioned) where normally a standard Roof
Deck Protection would normally have been installed.

Virtually all roofs in Calgary, Alberta have leak barriers
installed, and many different types of leak barriers are
available in today's market, each offering a different
level of reliability, functionality and warrantee and
produced by many different manufacturers.

properly is an important step in every Roof System.

about leak barriers, how to choose the right one and
how to choose a Professional Roofing Contractor to

Roof Deck Protection is very similar to a Leak Barrier.
The difference is that Roof Deck Protection is installed
on the entire Roof Deck area instead of only on
"special areas" as we mention in the Leak Barrier
section.
Typically, Roof Deck Protection is a step lower in
quality than a Leak Barrier. As with Leak Barriers
however, there are many different types of Roof Deck
Protection available to choose from ranging from
basic felt/tar paper to advanced plastic woven sheets
of rip and wrinkle proof material. Choosing a reliable
Roof Deck Protection is an important part of a quality
Roof System.

A word of caution; most roofing companies use felt
paper as Roof Deck Protection. Although using felt
paper is a standard and acceptable practice, some
issues can arise if the felt paper becomes wet during
or after the installation. Ever notice how paper tends
to curl when it dries after it was wet? In a similar way,
felt paper can curl if water or excess moisture touches
it. For this reason, and because the cost is quite small,
we recommend installing a higher quality Roof Deck
Protection such as a GAF/ELK Deck Armour. For a
relatively small additional cost, you'll be rewarded with
a much more reliable Roof Deck Protection.

So there it is, life beneath the shingles. See how much
goes on behind the scenes? Professional roofing
contractors know this stuff inside and out and can
help immensely in ensuring a roof system is reliable
for many years. Product suppliers such as GAF/Elk
and IKO can help answer specific questions about
products as well.
