Plumstead Township’s busiest corner, where Route 313 meets Route 611. Newer homes here are failing at the details, not the shingles.
Fountainville is the commercial crossroads of Plumstead Township, at the meeting of Route 313 and the Route 611 corridor, with Plumsteadville just up the road. Much of the housing around it is recent by Bucks County standards, built from the late 1980s onward on former farm ground, with a thinner layer of nineteenth century stock closer to the intersection. The newer homes look young and mostly are, which is why homeowners are surprised when they leak.
On a house twenty or thirty years old the shingle is rarely the culprit. Spec-minimum fastening, thin step flashing, rushed valleys and missing kickout flashing account for most of what we find. We inspect before we quote, and a targeted repair is often the honest answer. When replacement is right, the permit goes to Plumstead Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Usually a detail rather than the shingle. Rushed valleys, light step flashing, a missing kickout at a wall junction, or fastening at the minimum are the common causes on houses of that vintage. An inspection finds which one it is, and the honest fix is often a targeted repair instead of a full replacement.
Plumstead Township. Fountainville is a village inside the township rather than its own municipality, so the township is the permitting authority under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Bucks County does not issue residential roof permits. We submit the application and arrange the township inspection when the work is finished.
Very likely, and the usual cause is a missing kickout flashing. Where a roof edge dies into a wall, water needs to be pushed out into the gutter instead of running behind the siding. Without that small piece of metal it soaks the wall for years. Adding one is a small job with a large payoff.
Exposure. The south and west slopes take the most sun and the most wind-driven rain, so they lose granules and cup first, while a shaded slope may look newer and be growing algae instead. We still recommend replacing the whole roof at once, because the underlayment and flashing are the same age everywhere.
