Fixing a Tarred Valley
Once again we find evidence of Neanderthal Contractors ruining an otherwise
good slate roof. Tar is the Neanderthal Roofers best friend.
This solution
which may stop leaks for a couple years ruins the valley and surrounding
slates. Unfortunately the couple years this fix lasts is usually long enough
for the incompetent roofer to go out of business.
These are the steps to fixing a tarred valley.

The Original
Valley.
Neanderthal Contractors filled the valley with tar. This is a perfect
example of ignorant roofing at it's worst.
|
Step 1
Remove the old valley and slates to either side of valley. Salvage slates
for future use.
|
| |
|
Step 2
After installing Ice&Water Shield, we begin installing a new copper
valley flashing.
|
Step 4
Once the new copper valley is in we begin replacing the slates around
the valley using a mix of the original salvaged slates and new slates
that match the color and weathering of the originals.

The Completed Project
Although still dusty from the newly installed slate, This new valley
will perform beautifully for years to come.
