Ripple In Roof

Thanks rick and bradley that picture and that side of the roof appear to be a bit of an illusion compared to other roof pictures of the house i have.

Ripple in roof.

If the shingles are lifted too much preventing them for sealing or creating a space for wind to blow beneath you risk wind driven rain and or shingle uplift. Usually a ripple is the glue not holding the rubber down. Ripples or waves on the roof surface are a sure sign that the shingles or decking has probably buckled. This will shorten roof s life.

If your roof has ripples you should be concerned. Add in the every 8 foot ripple and yep that would be the sheathing seam buckling. First of all all agree that theinstallation of a roof with ripples bumps is defective. Cause could be age or water slowly getting between roof and rubber or excessive heat desert cooking it or original gule job was thin there ect ect.

The imperfections this creates in your roof are just magnified as soon as you place yet another layer on top of that along with the predictable result being that you grab ripples and ridges. The ripple itself might not be an issue but a leak causing it would. Are there any other negative impacts. Ripples can also expose the wooden portions of the roof to moisture that could lead to deterioration as well as rotting.

Follow the shingle line and it is a vertical ripple not angled as i thought. Occasionally the buckling is caused by poor workmanship wrong materials or possibly by a problem with the structure itself. This could be a sign of a bigger problem in the future. Yep something is wrong.

A photo and year make of rv would be helpful.
