Flashing Repair: Why Chimneys and Valleys Leak
Roof leaks often start in the places where water moves the fastest or where two building parts meet. Chimneys and roof valleys are two of the most common trouble spots.

A valley collects water from two roof slopes, so it handles a large amount of runoff during rain. That is why flashing repair matters so much. Flashing is the metal material that seals joints and dire
