Roof Valley Leaks: Where Two Slopes Meet
Valleys carry water from two roof slopes. They see more water than any other part of the roof.
Common issues
Nails too close to the valley center, worn shingles, and debris buildup.
Valley types
Open metal valleys, closed-cut, and woven valleys each have repair methods.
Prevention
Keep valleys free of leaves and branches.
Common questions
- Are metal valleys better?
- They handle heavy flow well when installed right.
- Can valleys be fixed alone?
- Often yes, if the rest of the roof is sound.
