East of Pottstown along the Schuylkill, with older river-town blocks, mid-century neighborhoods and Ringing Rocks to the north.
Lower Pottsgrove sits directly east of Pottstown, with the Schuylkill River as its southern boundary and Route 422 running just above it. Housing reflects that position: older, tighter blocks where the township meets the borough, then mid-century neighborhoods spreading north through Sanatoga toward Ringing Rocks and North Charlotte Street. Sunnybrook and the old Sanatoga Union Sunday School still stand as reminders of the earlier town.
Near the borough line we deal with narrow setbacks, shared walls and low-slope rear additions. Farther north it is ranches and splits with long shallow slopes. Both need attention at the eaves, where river-valley freeze-thaw does its work. Roofing permits are issued by Lower Pottsgrove Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Two housing eras in one township means two sets of failures: brittle older flashing and worn low-slope additions on one side, long shallow slopes on the other.
Shared walls and party parapets need flashing done as one continuous system.
Rear additions near flat pitch take membrane rather than shingle.
River-valley freeze-thaw backs water up at the eave every winter.
The township issues the roofing permit; Montgomery County does not.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

From Lower Pottsgrove Township, if your parcel is in the township, even though your mail may route through a Pottstown or Sanatoga address. Pottstown borough only permits work inside its own boundaries. We confirm the parcel, then file with Lower Pottsgrove under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
Low-slope sections drain slowly, so water sits at laps and at the wall above, and shingle is the wrong material there to begin with. Most of these additions were built with whatever matched the main roof. A membrane on the low section, with flashing carried up the wall, is what actually stops it.
Ventilation and air sealing first, because ice damming is driven by heat escaping into the attic and melting snow that then refreezes at the cold eave. Then underlayment: ice-and-water membrane along the eaves so that when a dam does form, the backed-up water cannot reach the deck.
For the work on your side, no, but the shared wall needs attention on both faces of it, and we will talk with your neighbor about access and protection. Where two roofs meet a party wall, flashing has to be continuous. We will say honestly if their side needs work for yours to stay dry.
