RoofingWaterproofing & Water Intrusion3MediumRoofer$ implied
Standard roofing underlayment layering method leaves drip edge exposed to rot because ice and water shield is placed over drip edge, not under it.
Current standard practice places ice and water shield over drip edge, which leaves the drip edge vulnerable to rot; no widely accepted alternative layering sequence exists.
