Abstract: A method for sealing a roof is disclosed herein. The roof is of the type comprising an inclined substrate and a first layer of shingles. The first layer of shingles has a first side and a second side wherein the first layer of shingles first side is attached to the substrate. The method comprises a first party selecting a second party to seal the roof. The first party provides a waterproof membrane having a first side and a second side to the second party. The second party positions the membrane first side adjacent at least a portion of the first layer of shingles second side. The second party attaches a second layer of shingles to the substrate, wherein the second layer of shingles is adjacent the membrane second side.

Abstract: This invention is a method for sealing pitched shingled roofs. The object is to minimize the cost associated with sealing a roof against standing water such as the case with an ice dam. The method involves placing a continuous waterproof membrane over existing roofing shingles and placing the new shingles on the membrane. The membrane is self adhesive on one side, which is used to adhere to the existing shingles. It is further durable enough to withstand the forces between layers of shingles and thin enough so not to present torque problems with the fasteners used to affix the new shingles to the roof substrate.
