Hey everyone I have a house that is 6600 sqf and has clay tiles on it, two roofers have already inspected it and say that there is 15 pound under the roof and the builder is saying there is 30 pound felt.
The two roofers say that the 15 pound felt should have never been used and has a high rate of failure.
Does anyone have any facts on this matter archived deep in there computers?
And has anyone seen any legal mumbo jumbo on the can or cannot’s on the use of 15lb felt on the underside?
People need to put into perspective the tiles are for aesthetic purpose and to prevent the sun from destroying the underlayment.
So even if all the tiles were removed the roof should not leak, they are not there to prevent leakage, simple protect whats under them from the elements.
If 15lb felt is all that is under the tiles, it is not acceptable by any stretch of the imagination.
You’ve already heard from 3 of the best and have 2 contractors that have identified deficient underlayment all I can add is this link with the standards you requested
