We waterproofed a single-family house in Langley and replaced the asphalt felt
Normal sloped residential roof is not meant to be fully waterproofed, unlike flat roof construction which is meant to waterproof the roof completely using a sealed system.
These full waterproofing systems include torch-on roofing, SBS membrane, EPDM, TPO and PVC, plus the old-fashioned and rarely used hot-mopped felt and asphalt ( tar and gravel ) roofing systems. These flat roofing systems all work well at holding out the rainwater when installed correctly with all the right materials and workmanship.
However, a shingled roof is meant to shed water rather than create a waterproof barrier on the roof. Because of the roof slope, rainwater flows down the shingles and is guided toward the eaves, gutters, and drainage zones through overlaps, side laps and layers of roofing material over other lower layers.
