Ice and water barrier

On a real claim

Ice and water barrier is a self-adhering membrane installed at eaves, valleys, and around penetrations to stop leaks from ice dams and wind-driven rain. On a claim it is a covered item on most replacements and its extent often depends on the climate and the local requirement. What goes wrong: the barrier is left off and a winter ice dam leaks into the home, or it is installed only at the eaves when the valleys needed it too. Check where the barrier is required and that the estimate covers it.
