First, try to contain any interior water damage. Then, contact a professional like Krause Roofing immediately. Roof valley leaks are common in our area due to heavy rain and snowmelt channeling water through these critical junctions. We'll perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the failure—often worn flashing or compromised sealant—and provide a repair that reinforces the valley to handle our local weather.

In our humid New England climate, traditional metal flashing can corrode over time, especially if it wasn't properly coated or installed. Rusted flashing loses its ability to seal joints around chimneys, vents, and walls, leading to leaks. Our repair process involves carefully removing the damaged sections, preparing the underlying surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing—often using more rust-resistant materials like aluminum or copper—sealed correctly to prevent future water intrusion.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend bi-annual inspections, ideally in late fall and early spring, to check for loose or damaged shingles, clear debris from valleys and gutters, and inspect flashing for early signs of rust or separation. Keeping valleys clear ensures proper water runoff during our heavy rains. Scheduling a professional inspection with a local roofer like us can catch small problems before they become major, costly leaks.
