Which area of a roof is designed to channel water away where two slopes meet?
Correct Answer:
Valley
Explanation:
When two roof slopes come together, the water has a natural channel to flow away from the intersection. That channel is called a valley. Valleys collect and direct runoff down toward the gutters or lower edge of the roof, so they must be properly flashed and shingles laid to prevent leaks where the planes meet. Other roof features that aren’t the channel for water between slopes: a hip is the external corner where two slopes meet on a hip roof, not the interior channel. The ridge cap sits along the roof’s peak where two slopes meet at the top. The eave soffit is the underside of the overhanging edge of the roof, not the water channel between slopes.
