This issue rarely presents itself until after the home is 3-5 years old, although on a few rare occasions we have found it a few years back within the first year, but not often. It takes awhile for the issue to be noticeable.
So far Tamco has paid for replacement roofs. Make sure you go with a quality roofing company and make sure they either use the original dryer roof vent hoods or install CORRECT new ones. THIS has been an issue with some replacement roofs.
Roof mold is an entirely different issue.

We own one of the many homes in Pine Hills/Pine Ridge that was affected by the TAMKO defective underlayment product. We submitted our claim to TAMKO and they paid for us to have the roof replaced. However, please pay attention to what Solar Guys and D'Angelo Inpections are saying, because they speak the truth. It is up to you to choose the contractor for your replacement roof. Unfortunately, we didn't make a wise choice of roofing contractor, and wound up, like many of our neighbors, with roof vents that were not reconnected to our dryer and/or cooking ventilation, because of shoddy workmanship. Fortunately, we hired Frank D'Angelo and his firm to do a post-installation inspection, and they pointed out these deficiencies that would have gone unnoticed. They eventually might have caused a fire! Do your research before hiring a roofing contractor. And if you see the black tar-like substance oozing from your roof, contact TAMKO to submit a claim.
