Is the reason the shingles are raised at the valley due to the metal flashing being installed poorly under the shingles or is this a sheathing issue or is there another reason? Roof has one layer & was installed recently.
They also did a crappy job of sealing the flashings. |

Kinda hard to see, but if you méan that bump to the left of the valley, I see it when I enlarge the picture, but can't explain it.

Is the lump on one side only? Were their any signs of past water intrusion in the attic? If not, I would probably let the clients know they should monitor that area in the future and converging roof surfaces are more prone to leaks anyway.

I would try *really* hard to get a close look at the intersecton of the roof with that wall, both at the exterior and interior and to get a moisture meter on both the valley and the wall intersection at the interior.
