A lasting repair for a valley leak often requires more than a simple patch. We inspect the entire valley system, checking for improper installation, worn underlayment, and compromised sealant. Our solution typically involves removing old materials, installing new ice and water shield—a critical defense for our local weather—and ensuring proper shingle integration to create a watertight channel that directs runoff safely off your roof.

Chimney flashing leaks are common here due to temperature fluctuations and settling. The issue is usually at the 'step flashing' points or the counter-flashing seal. A permanent fix involves carefully removing surrounding shingles, installing new, corrosion-resistant metal flashing that's properly stepped and woven into the roof layers, and sealing it with high-grade urethane or membrane. We then re-integrate the shingles to ensure a seamless, weatherproof barrier.

Look for key signs: Valley leaks typically show water stains or drips on interior ceilings following a rainstorm's path directly below roof valleys. Flashing leaks often manifest as water in the attic near the chimney or on interior walls adjacent to it. If you see these patterns, it's likely a targeted repair issue. We recommend a professional inspection to confirm, as untreated, these leaks can lead to significant structural damage over time.
