A roof valley leak is a serious issue, especially with our frequent heavy rains. We fix it by first thoroughly inspecting the valley flashing and underlying decking for damage. We then remove the compromised materials, install new, corrosion-resistant metal flashing sealed with high-grade urethane, and re-shingle the area with proper water-shedding techniques. This targeted repair addresses the root cause to prevent future leaks in this critical drainage point.

Absolutely. Proper gutter installation is a key defense. When gutters are clogged, undersized, or pulling away, water can overflow and cascade down the side of your chimney, overwhelming the flashing. We install seamless gutters of the correct size and slope, with adequate downspouts, to channel water safely away from your roof's edges and chimney base. This reduces the constant water exposure that can lead to flashing failures and leaks.

For a lasting roof in Mobile, focus on the details that handle water. Look for a contractor who prioritizes high-quality, waterproof underlayment, proper ice and water shield in valleys and at eaves, and expertly installed step flashing around the chimney. We also pay special attention to sealing all penetrations and ensuring optimal attic ventilation to reduce moisture buildup. A quality reroofing job isn't just about shingles—it's about creating a complete, water-shedding system.
