How do you do Valley Replacement?
When you restore or fix broken or damaged valleys on your roof, this is called valley replacement. Valleys can be damaged in a number of ways. Being exposed to air, water, and other elements can cause them to rust and eventually corrode completely. The buildup of leaf and green debris speeds up the rusting process and also blocks the flow of water in valleys. Finally, the wooden supports below the valleys can fail, which can cause weak spots and bends in the valleys. Any damage to the valleys can let water overflow or leak straight into the roof, doing a lot of damage like rotting wood and losing insulation.
To replace a valley, our skilled and experienced roofers will carefully take off the tiles and valley cuts around it, then take off and get rid of the leaky valley. Then, we’ll bring you a new valley tray that is the right size and shape and put it in place. Finally, we’ll put back all the tiles that were damaged, including the small valley cuts, which will be held in place with clips in line with Australian Standards. We only use the best products to make sure that your new valley will last a long time.
