Seven crossroads villages, Skippack Creek through the middle, and newer houses with far more complicated roofs than the farms they replaced.
Worcester is a set of crossroads villages: Center Point, Fairview Village, Cedars, Heebnerville, Bethel Hill, Providence Square and Worcester itself. The Peter Wentz Homestead has stood here since before the Revolution. Route 73 and Route 363 carry the traffic, and Skippack Creek and Stony Creek drain the township. Newer construction has gone up on former farm parcels, and those houses have far more roof than the ones beside them.
More planes means more valleys, more hips, more sidewall, and more places for water to change direction. We spend the inspection on those junctions rather than on the open field of shingle, and we look at how the dormers and bump-outs were flashed originally. Roofing permits in Worcester are issued by Worcester Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Dormer cheeks and headwalls need step flashing woven into the courses.
Wide chimneys need a cricket so water is not left sitting behind them.

Worcester · Center Point · Fairview Village · Cedars · Heebnerville · Bethel Hill · Providence Square
Worcester Township, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Mail addressed to Collegeville, Lansdale or Norristown does not change that. The municipality your parcel sits in issues the permit, and Montgomery County does not issue residential roofing permits at all. We prepare and file it.
It makes it more detail-dependent. Each dormer adds two sidewalls, a headwall and two short valleys, and every one has to be flashed properly rather than caulked. Most leaks on houses like yours start at a dormer or a chimney, not in the middle of a slope. That is where we spend the inspection.
On a wide chimney, yes, a cricket. It is a small framed peak behind the chimney that pushes water around it instead of letting it pool against the brick. Without one, that flat spot collects debris, holds water and eventually rots the deck. We build one when the chimney width calls for it.
Keep the slope clear and keep limbs off it, because the moisture is not going anywhere. When you replace, choose a shingle with algae-resistant granules and make sure the attic is ventilated well enough to dry the deck from underneath. Creek-side lots need both halves of that, not just the surface.
