Without properly functioning roof valleys, water and snow melt can accumulate on the roof, leading to leaks and water damage to the interior of the building.

Roof valleys are typically located where two roof planes meet at an angle, creating a V-shaped channel. This channel is designed to guide water towards the eaves, where it can be directed into gutters and away from the building. Roof valleys can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, asphalt, or rubber, but they must be installed correctly and maintained regularly to ensure they function properly.

Another important factor to consider when installing roof valleys is the slope of the roof. The slope of the roof will determine the angle of the valley, and a steeper slope will allow water and snow melt to flow more quickly and efficiently away from the building. However, if the slope is too steep, it can be difficult to install the valley correctly, and the water may not flow properly.

Proper maintenance is also crucial to ensure the proper functioning of roof valleys. This includes regular cleaning of the valleys to remove debris and leaves, which can cause blockages and lead to water damage. Additionally, it is important to check the valleys for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or missing shingles, and repair or replace them as necessary.

Proper installation, material selection, and maintenance are all essential for ensuring the proper functioning of roof valleys. Contact us today for a free quote.
