Roof Leak Repairs
Leaks are usually due to overlapping or improper installation of shingles. The most common areas to experience a roof leak is at the valley, the internal angle formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes.
Prevention Tip:
Strong winds can drive rain around the counter flashing because it doesn’t lap over far enough to the base flashing. Roof leaks may also occur around the chimney when water runs through an open joint and onto the sheathing.
Debris retains moisture which encourages the growth of fungus and mildew. Keeping the valley and gutters clean is the first step to preventing future leaks. Leaves and debris collecting in the valley can cause leakage.
