We have a tile roof here in the Valley of the hot as ****. At some point, the underlayment will need to be replaced. All the tiles look fine.
I had some leaking this winter but I think due to maintenance neglect of my own. I had a dead valley spot on the roof and dirt/leaves collected very heavily. As it rained, the water was unable to drain and created a 2" mud basin where eventually the water got under the Z flashing and stucco area and leaked into the house ruining a small portion of my office wall.
The roof is 17 years old and the quote for new underlayment was around $14k. How do I get my insurance to pay for this?

I don't think there is a way to get them to pay for it. How many SQs is your roof? Honestly I wouldn't involve your insurance company at all, since the damage was your neglect. They might drop you.
