When a Valley Leaks Roof Repair is Needed to Get Water Flowing in the Right Direction

The valley of a roof is the point where two sloped roof angles meet and form a channel. It's an important architectural feature, but it's also one of the weaker spots in the roofing system. The purpose is for valleys to help prevent leaks by helping water flow off the roof and into the gutter system.

When there's an issue in the valley regions of your roof it can cause serious problems. Valley leaks not only allow water to penetrate through, it's also an indicator water isn't channeling off the roof properly, which can create more issues.

Common Causes of Roof Valley Leaks

The valley is a vulnerable spot on the roof where many issues can begin. Because the valley is where roofing material meets, there's going to be a seam. Anywhere there's a seam there's a higher potential for leaks. It can happen in the valleys of a roof because of:

  • Poor Installation

    Improper installation is a common cause for a lot of roof problems. When the valley components are not put in place or sealed correctly leaks can form. Even driving in nails over the ridge caps can lead to leaks in the valley. Using the wrong underlayment with a lifespan that's shorter than the roof materials is another common installation problem that causes valley leaks.

  • Damaged Flashing

    Flashing failures are another common culprit for valley leaks. When the flashing underneath the shingles in the valley breaks, lifts up or fails water is not going to be channeled off the roof properly.

  • Clogged Gutters

    The logic here is pretty simple. Water is supposed to flow down the valleys to the gutter system where it is funneled off the roof away from the structure. If the gutters are clogged with debris instead of flowing off the roof it will back up and pool in the valleys increasing the chance of roof leaks.

  • Damaged Shingles

    With the roof system, one problem can quickly lead to another. Broken shingles near the valley can allow water to leak through. If the valley isn't fully sealed, then the water can keep leaking down into the structure.

  • Poor Ventilation and Condensation

    Excess moisture is a problem no matter where it comes from. When there isn't adequate ventilation in the attic and roof, condensation can form, creating excess moisture that gets trapped around the roofing.

  • Ice Dams

    Though it isn't common to have freezing weather in Central Texas, ice dams are a common cause for valley leaks. The ice dam can cause moisture to remain trapped in the valley where it can leak down rather than flowing to the gutters.

  • General Wear and Tear

    Roofing materials are going to wear out eventually. Some materials take longer than others, but it's a matter of time. As the roof ages, general wear and tear causes the roofing materials to degrade and increases the chance of roofing problems like valley leaks. And because water channels through the valleys, roofing material in these areas tends to wear out quicker.

Finding and Fixing Valley Leaks in the Roofing System

Typically, valley leaks aren't a problem that affects the whole roof, but other parts of the roofing system could be involved that also need repair. The issue can be complex to diagnose and complicated to fix so you'll want to reach out to a professional roofing contractor for assistance.


Inspect the Roof to Determine the Extent of the Damage

Are you experiencing a roof leak in one valley or is this an issue across the entire roof? A professional roof inspection will provide the insight you need to determine the extent of the damage and what's needed to repair it.


Make the Repairs

Repairing valley leaks is a job that many property owners can't handle on their own. To get the job done right where the problem is fixed efficiently without risk of further damage you'll want to get a professional roofing company to do the repair.

The repair is going to involve:

  • Removing shingles over the valley.
  • Installing an ice and water shield membrane.
  • Putting a metal valley flashing that's non-corrosive over the membrane.
  • Replacing and properly sealing shingles in place.

Monitor the Situation and Maintain as Needed

Roof leaks won't catch you by surprise with regular inspections and maintenance. It's best to have a roofing contractor inspect your roof at least once a year to monitor how the valley repair is holding up. The roofer can also provide feedback on the general condition of your roof and what maintenance is needed for peak performance.

Why Our Customers Think
LOA is the Best Austin Roofing Contractor

Working with Kevin from LOA was a great experience! I needed my roof immediately! My insurance company was trying to non renew simply due to the age of my home. They gave me no time. Kevin and the LOA team worked so quickly and had my roof installed the next day. They were very professional, did a great job cleaning up after and picking up most all the nails. Highly recommended!

— Alicia Donovan

I highly recommend working with LOA Construction. I shopped around before picking a roofing company and LOA provided the best overall responsiveness and price. Cameron Smith and his team were helpful and communicative leading up to, during, and after the job. The roof looks great and I'm confident in the workmanship. LOA also performed repairs and house painting, both of which we are very pleased with.

— Chris Farrow

LOA Construction has exceeded my expectations again. This is the second roof installation with them and I couldn't be happier. Specifically, Tyler Griffiths is professional, attentive, and made the entire process of working with my insurance company effortless. My tenant sent a glowing account of their experience as well. Knowing it was a rental, they still diligently protected all property and plants. They were on time every time and went out of their way to not inconvenience the residents. LOA Construction has integrity and takes pride in their work. I couldn't recommend them more.

From the very start, I knew I was in good hands.

Can't thank you enough Andrew and LOA Construction.

— Paul Coleman

As a first time home owner with no experience in how to make claims and start the process of getting a new roof I was scared to the point of avoiding what needed to get done after the bad hail storm. August Walker did an amazing job walking me through each step along the way. He answered all my questions and calmed my concerns. They inspected my roof and drove from Austin to Belton just to be there with the ins inspector, and followed up with me in person after the roof was installed. He also made a special trip back to drop off samples! I’m grateful to August and LOA construction for being highly professional and friendly!
