The Problem With “Dead Valleys” on Your Roof (Nothing Good Comes From This)

This is what we call a dead valley, and it’s one of the most common problems we fix when replacing roofs.

When rainwater runs down and hits an area like this, it has nowhere to go… so it sits. And nothing about a dead valley is good.

Over time, that standing water leads to:

-debris and plant buildup

-shingle deterioration

-siding damage

-and eventually leaks

In this video, you can already see the warning signs: staining, cracking, and buildup.

That’s what happens when water is trapped instead of properly draining off your roof.

The reality is, issues like this don’t get better with time. They only get more expensive.

If you think your roof might have areas where water isn’t draining properly, it’s worth getting it checked before it turns into a bigger problem.
