Flat Valleys: What are they and why is it on my inspection report?

Roof Knowledge - Flat Valleys, what are they and why are they on my inspection report?

Flat or Dead Valleys are typically a small zero or low-pitched area of rolled roofing between two or more roof pitches. They help bridge the gap between those roofs and allow for proper water drainage. They will see most of those roof’s water runoff, which is why be one of the most common areas to encounter an early leak, usually due to debris build up or cracking and tears. Often it is not visible from the ground level which is why some homeowners may be wondering why it came up on an inspection report.
