J. Fitzgerald Roofing | Roofing Services in Ozone Park, NY 11417

In our area, roof valley leaks are often caused by worn or damaged flashing, ice dam damage from winter, or debris buildup that traps water. At J. Fitzgerald Roofing, we start with a thorough inspection to locate the exact breach. The repair typically involves carefully removing old sealant and compromised flashing, then installing new, corrosion-resistant metal flashing with proper overlap and professional sealing to create a watertight channel that directs water safely off your roof.

Yes, addressing damaged ridge caps should be a priority. The ridge cap is the sealing line along the peak of your roof; cracks or breaks here can allow wind-driven rain and moisture directly into your attic, leading to leaks and wood rot. We recommend a prompt inspection. Our repair involves removing the damaged sections, checking the underlying decking for moisture, and installing new ridge caps that are properly nailed and sealed to restore the critical weather seal along your roof's peak.

Valley leaks often show water stains on your ceiling that run parallel to the slope of the roof, typically appearing along interior walls or in the attic directly below the valley line. You might also see water tracking along rafters. The best way to be sure is to have a professional assessment. We can safely inspect your roof's valleys, check for compromised flashing or granules in your gutters, and use moisture meters in your attic to pinpoint the exact origin of the leak for an accurate, lasting repair.
