BUCKLING
...........................................

 CAUSES::

Improperly applied felt
Wrinkled underlayment
Roof deck movement
Spacers not used in between roof deck boards
Poor roof ventilation
New shingles applied over old, rough shingles

RECOMMENDATIONS::

Allow moisture to escape the Roofing System. This can be a slow process and could take until the following spring. Once the Roofing System reaches the proper moisture content, the roof should lay flat and the buckling problem should not return.
Remove the shingles that are affected. Cut the wrinkle in the felt and replace the shingles.
Add ventilation to the attic space. The minimum requirement is one square foot of net free vent area per 150 square feet of attic floor space if a vapor retarder is not present. If a vapor retarder is present, the amount of required ventilation can be reduced to one square foot of net free vent area per 300 square feet of attic floor space.

Consult the services of a professional. Make sure to apply shingles in accordance with the shingle manufacturer's recommendations.
