Roof Valley Repair and Ice Dam Prevention in Cranbrook, BC

A Cranbrook roof had trouble in its valleys. We rebuilt them as open metal valleys and added Malarkey Omniseal membrane in the dead valley to stop ice damming.

The repair

The problem. The valleys on this roof needed work, and a dead valley, where two slopes meet against a wall and snow sits, was at risk of ice damming.

The repair. We removed the shingles in the valleys and installed a new open valley system, with Malarkey Omniseal membrane in the dead valley section to prevent ice dams.

Small fixes. We also sealed holes left in the roof from the poles used when the house was sided, and disposed of all waste.

Why valleys fail first

Valleys carry the most water on any roof, and dead valleys trap snow. An open metal valley and a membrane underneath keep water moving and stop ice from backing up.
