Roofing in Whitemarsh Township: Stone Houses and Old Roads

Whitemarsh Township runs from the Schuylkill River at Spring Mill and Miquon up through Lafayette Hill and Barren Hill to parts of Plymouth Meeting and Fort Washington. The Continental Army camped here in late 1777, and in May 1778 Lafayette slipped out of a British trap at the Battle of Barren Hill.

The homes we see in Whitemarsh

On the same road you can find a stone farmhouse from the 1700s or 1800s, a 1930s stone colonial and a post-war split-level. Older homes often have several roof sections — a main roof, a kitchen wing, a porch — each with its own slope and flashing against stone walls.

• Counter-flashing set into the mortar joints of stone walls and chimneys, not just caulked
• Mixed roof sections with different slopes and materials
• Split-level and ranch roofs from the post-war years
• Tree cover along the Wissahickon and Schuylkill valleys: gutters, valleys and limbs

Whitemarsh by the numbers

Half of the homes in Whitemarsh Township were built before 1973, and 35% predate 1960. Many of them are on their second or third roof, so the decking, flashing and ventilation underneath deserve a close look.

The Ida tornado of Sept. 1, 2021 touched down in the Fort Washington area at the township’s northern edge. Across the township, storm wind damage was reported within 5 miles on 54 days since 2005, and the area’s strongest measured gust — 72 mph — came near Conshohocken in June 2017.
