Secondary Water Barrier for the best roof protection
A  Secondary Water Barrier is a backup system to prevent water intrusion  (through the joints in the roof decking) into the home in the event of  the primary roof covering and underlayment over a roof  being blown off  during a hurricane. Peal and Seal as the underlayment with an  asphalt shingle is a great roof system. Secondary Water Resistance, on  the wind mitigation form is referring to a second way of preventing  water from entering through a roof. Peal and Seal is  a surprisingly lightweight self-adhesive, modified bituminous roofing  underlayment. It's reinforced with a heavy weight fiberglass mat for use  under tile, slate and asphalt shingles. Glass fiber reinforcement on  the upper surface provides enhanced skid resistant properties for a  roof.

 Tapered Roof System To Prevent Ponding Water On Flat Roofs
Essentially they work as follows:
   Insulated panels are placed below the membrane or final roofing  solution to create slopes in the roof. Design plays an important role in  the process of adding a taper system. Proper installation is essential  to the system working and avoiding future problems with the roof. Poor  drainage on residential roofs can result in damage far more destructive  than either wind or other natural elements. Homeowners often under  estimate the advantages of tapered roofing when evaluating the life  expectancy of a roof.

 Positive drainage is necessary to insure a  safe, long lasting roof. Ponded water can result in costly repairs and  even per-mosture roof failure, which is rarely covered under warranty or  by insurance. Positive sloped roof systems result in reduced maintenance  and less stress to your homes structure.

 Tapered roof  insulation is an excellent way to both help insulate flat roof decks as  well as provide positive drainage.  Applied directly to the roof  surface, tapered roof insulation can prolong the life of the roof by  assisting in the drainage of any collected water, as well as helping to  eliminate any potential weight or load bearing issues.
