Buckling


Causes

  • Improperly applied felt

  • Wrinkled under layment

  • Roof deck movement

  • Spacers not used in between roof deck boards

  • Poor roof ventilation

  • New shingles applied over old, rough shingles



Recommendations

  • Allow moisture to escape the Roofing System. This can be a slow process and could take until the following spring. Once the Roofing System reaches the proper moisture content, the roof should lay flat and the buckling problem should not return.

  • Remove the shingles that are affected. Cut the wrinkle in the felt and replace the shingles.

  • Add ventilation to the attic space. The minimum requirement is one square foot of net free vent area per 150 square feet of attic floor space if a vapor retarder is not present. If a vapor retarder is present, the amount of required ventilation can be reduced to one square foot of net free vent area per 300 square feet of attic floor space.

  • Consult the services of a professional. Make sure to apply shingles in accordance with the shingle manufacturer's recommendations.
