Operating across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, we bring extensive experience in addressing issues related to valley irons, ensuring they function effectively to channel rainwater away from your roof.
What are Valley Irons?
Valley irons are the metal channels installed where two roof planes meet, forming a valley. They play a crucial role in directing rainwater to the gutters, preventing pooling and leaks. Over time, valley irons can corrode, warp, or become blocked, leading to water damage and compromised roof integrity.
Common Issues with Valley Irons
- Rust and Corrosion: Exposure to the elements can cause metal valley irons to deteriorate, especially in humid or coastal areas.
- Blockages: Debris such as leaves, dirt, and twigs can accumulate, obstructing water flow.
- Leaks: Damaged or improperly sealed valley irons can result in water ingress.
- Warping or Cracking: Structural shifts or prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may cause warping or cracks.
Our Valley Iron Repair Process
Inspection and Diagnosis:
We thoroughly inspect the valley iron to identify the source of the problem, whether it’s corrosion, blockages, or structural damage.
Cleaning and Preparation:
All debris is removed, and the area is cleaned to allow for accurate repairs or replacement.
Repairs or Replacement:
Minor issues such as cracks or small leaks are repaired using durable sealants and protective coatings.
For heavily corroded or damaged valley irons, we replace them with high-quality materials like galvanised steel or Colorbond® for long-term durability.
Re-Sealing and Waterproofing:
We ensure proper sealing and waterproofing to prevent future leaks and enhance water flow efficiency.
