I'm building a home with a 2/12 pitch shed roof. My building supplier recommended ice and water Shiel under the the steel roofing for the entire roof. My roofing contractor misaligned the roofing panels on installation and yesterday he redid his alignment. Now I think I have penetration holes through my ShingleLayment-HT™ ice and water shield. I'm pretty sure the underlayment is HTM for metal roofs.
Shouldn't the roofing contractor have replaced the underlayment before re-installing the roofing? It is self-sealing around fasteners.
I'm concerned that I have a compromised roof.

My suggestion is to go back to the underlayment manufacturer with this inquiry. How well it re-seals around holes has a lot to do with the composition of the underlayment. I do appreciate your concern though as being legitimate.
