One frequent oversight is neglecting the condition of the underlayment when weatherproofing a tile or slate roof. The underlayment serves as an essential barrier against moisture, and if it is damaged or worn, it can compromise the effectiveness of the entire roof. Homeowners sometimes focus exclusively on the tiles or slates themselves, overlooking the importance of this foundational layer. This approach can lead to leaks and water damage, ultimately resulting in more extensive repairs.
