In our coastal climate, the most frequent cause is a combination of wind-driven rain and debris accumulation in the valley. Palm fronds, sand, and leaves can clog the valley, forcing water under the shingles. Over time, the constant moisture and salt air can also degrade the valley flashing. A proper repair involves clearing the area, inspecting for decking rot, and often replacing the flashing with a more durable, sealed system suited for our environment.

Signs inside your home include dark stains or sagging on your ceilings, a musty smell in the attic, or soft spots you can feel from the attic floor. In Corpus Christi, our high humidity means that once water gets past the shingles, the wooden decking stays damp, leading to rapid rot and mold growth. This compromises your roof's structural integrity. It's critical to address any leak immediately to prevent decking damage, as a soft deck cannot properly support new shingles and requires replacement before any re-roofing.

For lasting repairs, we focus on sealing vulnerabilities and using corrosion-resistant materials. This includes installing high-temperature ice and water shield underlayment in critical areas like valleys and eaves, using galvanized or aluminum flashing to resist salt air corrosion, and securing shingles with ring-shank nails for better wind uplift resistance. The goal is to create a continuous, sealed barrier that can handle our heavy downpours and high winds, not just a cosmetic fix.
