Valleys are deteriorating at a rapid rate. Why?

Build up of snow over the winter puts tremendous pressure on the valleys of your home.
If your valleys are not protected properly with ice/water damning or even if there are leaks at the seams of the plywood, over time that pressure may deteriorate the life expectancy of your shingles.
Most snow compacts in the valley, that is just a fact.
