The V-shaped channel formed where two roof slopes meet — one of the most water-vulnerable areas of any roof.
The internal angle formed where two sloping roof surfaces meet, creating a channel that concentrates and directs rainwater down the roof. Valleys are among the most leak-prone areas of a roof and require special waterproofing — either open metal flashing or a closed/woven shingle detail. Ice and water shield is typically required in the valley for cold climate applications.
The W-metal valley flashing was installed before shingles and extended 12 inches on each side to handle the concentrated water flow.
