Does Roof Underlayment and Bitumen are consider a Secondary Water Resistant?
Yes. The roof-covering material is the primary barrier, the underlayment is the secondary barrier.
If you are speaking of a wind mitigation report in Fl, the answer is no. The secondary water barrier muxt be a self adhering polymer modified bitumen roofing underlayment applied directly to the sheathing or a foam
adhesive SWR barrier (not foamed on insulation) applied on every sheathing seam. It goes directly on the sheathing prior to the felt, or other underlayment.
