Junction where roof meets gutter.

A valley gutter is where two main roofs meet or where there is a change in roof direction. Install shingles over the portion of step flashing on the roof. Step 1 install roof underlay and cladding turning the roof underlay up the adjacent wall. Unless you re careful step flashing can allow water from the roof to slip behind the gutter and get behind the siding and even the housewrap.

When installing metal or rubber membrane roofs use continuous flashing rather than pieces of step flashing. Valley gutter defined. Install kick out flashing at the end of a roof wall intersection to divert water away from the wall and into gutters. A key part of my approach is using a special piece of flashing at this vulnerable intersection called kickout flashing or kickout diverter.

It is very common for dormers and other roof structures that have gutters above the level of the gutters on lower portions of the roof to empty onto the roof surface. The water is allowed to run on the roof surface and is collected by the lower gutters. The valley gutter problem areas can be made worse where there are surrounding trees and associated leaves and branches that can block the valley gutters up.

Valley gutters are generally considered to be a problem area. Function the primary function of the eaves is to keep rain water off the walls and to prevent the ingress of water at the junction where the roof meets the wall. The eaves may also protect a pathway around the building from the rain prevent erosion of the footings and reduce splatter on the wall from rain as it hits the ground. In this first picture one can see.

A structure located behind the higher side of a chimney or similar projections from the roof to divert rainwater around it.
