Towamencin sits at the top of its own watershed, with the creek’s headwaters inside the township. Roofing here is partly about where water goes.
Towamencin is high ground. The headwaters of Towamencin Creek start inside the township and drain down through Skippack Creek to the Perkiomen, which means the water leaving your roof is at the beginning of its run, not the end. The housing is commuter-era: Kulpsville at Sumneytown Pike and Forty Foot Road holds the older core, and named tracts fill the rest, most of them two-story with long gutter runs and deep valleys.
We treat the drainage as part of the roof. Valley capacity, gutter and downspout sizing that matches the roof area feeding them, kickout flashing so wall water reaches the gutter, and discharge pointed away from the foundation. Then the shingle work on top of it. Permits are issued by Towamencin Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

When a long two-story slope feeds a small gutter, water overshoots in a downpour and freezes at the eave in January, and the roof takes the blame.
Five-inch gutters on large slopes cannot take a summer downpour and overflow.
Deep valleys between two large slopes need open metal to carry peak flow.
Water that cannot drain refreezes at the eave and backs up under the shingles.
Towamencin Township issues the permit, even where the mail reads Lansdale.

If they are undersized or sagging, it is the right time. The roof and the gutters are one water system, and new shingles over a gutter that overflows does not stop the staining or the winter ice. We measure the slope area and size the gutter to it.
Towamencin Township, if the parcel is in the township. Lansdale is a separate borough whose postal name reaches well beyond its limits, so we confirm the parcel and file with Towamencin’s code office under the PA Uniform Construction Code. Kulpsville addresses are Towamencin too.
That is usually capacity or a blocked valley outlet rather than a roof failure, though it becomes a roof problem in winter. Overflow at the eave freezes, backs water up under the courses, and eventually wets the sheathing. It is worth fixing before January.
Yes, and many newer roofs around here have less of it than they should. Ice-and-water at the eaves, in the valleys and around penetrations is what protects the deck when water backs up. It is a modest cost on a full replacement and it is where we do not economize.
