Weather Watch^® XT Leak Barrier

A Quality Leak Barrier Will:

Create a 100% watertight seal that keeps water out at the most vulnerable areas of your roof (at the eaves and rakes, in valleys, around chimneys, etc.).

Weather Watch^® XT, a quality leak barrier, will:

• Protect your home by preventing costly repairs due to wall or ceiling staining
• Help prevent leaks due to water damming in your gutters, wind-driven rain, and, in the North, damaging ice dams

The GAF Lifetime Roofing System has earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal, which means that Good Housekeeping stands behind the products in this system. (Refer to Good Housekeeping Magazine for its consumer protection policy.)

Don’t Put Your Home At Risk

• The Codes Are Clear...

  Protection against ice dams is required (See Details)
  Check local building codes for specifications in your area.
  at eaves wherever the January average temperature is 25®F or lower or where there is a possibility of ice forming in the eaves - i.e., the area labeled "North". (See Details)
  International Building Code (ICBO), IRC, UBC, NBC, and SBC.
  
  
  

• But Be Prepared...

  Ice dams can still occur in areas where the average temperature is above 25°F (not to mention wind-driven rain)
  
  

• Avoid The Risks...

  If you are in an area that requires leak barrier protection – and if there is a leak – you could be putting your insurance coverage at risk by not installing it!
