It\u2019s why we recommend that you get periodic roof inspections to ensure its structural integrity, and that you make sure to check the shape of the roof following severe weather (even if it\u2019s just circling around your home and looking for damaged shingles). One of the things that you\u2019ll want to look out for when you are looking for possible roof damage is a wavy roof.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"\"><span style=\"color: var(--tcb-skin-color-4);\"><span style=\"--tcb-applied-color: var$(--tcb-skin-color-4)  !important;\"><span style=\"\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto;\">Reasons Your Roof Looks Wavy<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"\"><span style=\"color: var(--tcb-skin-color-4);\"><span style=\"--tcb-applied-color: var$(--tcb-skin-color-4) !important;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto;\">Your shingles should be aligned in straight rows, which means that there should be no wavy look to them. If they look wavy, then it could be due to a number of different reasons. The following are some of the more common causes for a wavy roof:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"color: var(--tcb-skin-color-4);\"><span style=\"--tcb-applied-color: var$(--tcb-skin-color-4) !important;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto;\"><strong>There was an issue with the felt paper<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Before the shingles of a roof are put down, felt paper is laid down first. If the felt paper was bubbly or wet when it was applied, then it will cause the roof to look wavy. This is the best case scenario for a wavy roof because typically, the paper will end up flattening itself after a few weeks of summer weather.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"color: var(--tcb-skin-color-4);\"><span style=\"--tcb-applied-color: var$(--tcb-skin-color-4) !important;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto;\"><strong>A layer of shingles was applied over an old layer<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 This only happens if you worked with a bad roofing company. A good contractor will never just add a layer of shingles over an existing layer of shingles \u2013 they\u2019ll remove your old shingles first. They\u2019re basically taking a short cut in order to save time and effort. If they installed a layer of shingles of a layer of wavy shingles, then both layers are going to have to be removed and a new set of layers will have to be properly installed. You\u2019ll probably want to use a different contractor this time as well!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"color: var(--tcb-skin-color-4);\"><span style=\"--tcb-applied-color: var$(--tcb-skin-color-4) !important;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto;\"><strong>The decking is damaged<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Every home has plywood decking that covers the house. The decking is where the roof is laid. If the decking is damaged, it can cause the roof to look wavy. &nbsp;Decking needs to be installed at the proper thickness according to area building codes \u2013 and if it isn\u2019t, it will be more prone to damage. You can check to see if the decking is damaged by going up into your attic space and looking for any sagging, rotting or cracking in the decking. If you do, you\u2019ll need to have a contractor replace it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span style=\"color: var(--tcb-skin-color-4);\"><span style=\"--tcb-applied-color: var$(--tcb-skin-color-4) !important;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto;\"><strong>The shingles weren\u2019t installed properly<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 If it wasn\u2019t one of the previous problems, then your wavy roof may have been caused by a contractor who did a poor job aligning your shingles or didn\u2019t nail them down properly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; font-weight: 400; font-size: 15px; color: var(--tcb-skin-color-4);\">These are the reasons why your Baltimore-area home might have a wavy-looking roof.
