All tile roof valleys I saw in Cal. were closed. Most here are as well but are leak prone. I even saw closed cut valleys on ancient Cedar shake roofs off Rodeo. Is open cut (as opposed to mitred or closed valleys) really California building code because I saw none (maybe a newer code?).

Here composite shingles are closed (California Seam) unless they are a laminate which in that case will contain a valley pan metal. You should review certainteed and ustile national roofing tile manufacturer website. They will also provide apps of valley pan metal on tile roofing. You seem very interested in CA Building Code. You should purchase a CA Building Code book to reference further or try viewing the roofing manufacturers websites to review the many pdf installation specs.

I actually don't have a care one about Cal. building code, I had asked you if your company had cut the valleys "open" on the project that you were repairing because I saw they were open cut. You mentioned open cut and valley pan being CA building code but never answered my question of whether that was a modification your company had performed during this repair. You had said your co. was doing rot repair etc. and I wondered if debris choked closed valleys were also to blame.

We did not cut the valley. Although cut valley tile is once again CA building code & roofing tile manufacture spec Nationwide! Just call any Tile Roofing manufacturer Rep across the entire US and ask them! We cut valleys on new installs all year long and provide a 50 Year Warranty and we have been for over 80 Years now. BTW - Do you have a roofing video of yourself installing that you can show us? Maybe a video of this debris causing problem in open valleys your referring too!

@ewasankari those trucks were probably on their way to fix roofs they had done.

We have had Monier Roofing Tile manufacturer review our published YOU TUBE Video and they have indicated that this primary & secondary flashing installation technique visible in this video is according to their installation specifications. Our "ONLY" goal here with this online venue of YOU TUBE is to show our proper installation techniques according to the Roofing Industry. Monier Reps must also personally visit each Tile Roofing job site to provide the 50 Year warranty.

@ewasankari work other than to agree w/ Richard that the pipe flashing is more debris and water proof on top of the tile. No big deal captain. I'm not here to show you up. We see a lot of closed valleys (if you know what that means) get stuffed w/ debris and cause rot and is a common repair we do to 15 - 30 year old houses. I honestly was just curious if that's what you were dealing w/ on that repair.

@ewasankari

The valleys in your repair look fine - I wasn't trying to bait you into anything, in fact you could have lied and said you cut them open and I would have had more respect for you. You had said in an earlier post " Open valleys in a tile roof with valley pan metal - "Once again CA BUILDING CODE" so I (and anyone who ever reads this post) would think you are saying open valleys are CA building code. If you mellow out and look back on my posts you'll see I haven't knocked your

I never made any mention of debris in open valleys. I asked if you had cut them open, meaning maybe they were closed cut at the beginning of the repair. Your odd answer below saying "cut valley tile is once again CA building code..." is a meaningless statement. Am I correct in assuming that you are probably young with very little roofing experience yourself and are having trouble understanding or following my questions? Tile valleys can be cut open or closed anywhere. I do both.
