Valley Twisting & Flashing Tears from Clay Soil Movement
The Neighborhood Problem: The expansive clay soil across Meyerland, Westbury, and Braeburn shrinks in dry summer heat and swells during rainy seasons. This continuous foundation movement transfers directly into your framing rafters, twisting low-pitch roof valleys and tearing old sheet metal seams. Rain rolling down the roof drops straight through those split seams, rotting out interior framing.
Smearing tar or plastic cement over a split valley is useless because the house continues to move. During our focused Roof Repair, we strip the compromised valley down to clean lumber, check rafter alignment, and lay down heavy-duty, self-adhering elastomeric ice-and-water membranes. We install open, heavy-gauge metal valley flashings engineered with built-in expansion room so natural structural settling never tears the waterproof seal.
