American Dream Exteriors | Roofing Services in Des Moines, IA 50313

A leaking roof valley is often caused by worn flashing, damaged shingles, or ice dam backup. We start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. Our repair typically involves removing the compromised materials, installing new, corrosion-resistant valley flashing, and integrating it with new, high-quality shingles to ensure a watertight seal. For homes prone to ice dams, we may also recommend improved attic ventilation as part of the solution.

Many skylight leaks can be repaired without full replacement. The issue is usually with the flashing—the metal seal around the skylight—which can crack or pull away over time. We carefully remove the surrounding shingles, replace the old flashing with a new, properly-sized system, and re-integrate it with your roofing materials. If the skylight itself is cracked or the frame is rotten, we would then discuss replacement options with you.

It depends on the condition and cause. For Des Moines homes, overflowing is often due to clogs, improper pitch, or sections pulling away from the fascia. We can repair sagging sections, re-seal leaks, and re-pitch gutters to ensure proper flow. However, if your gutters are old, severely rusted, or consistently failing, a replacement with a larger, seamless gutter system is a more reliable, long-term investment to protect your siding and foundation from water damage.
