9The Borrego Springs Inspection, Step by Step
Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Borrego Springs inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate.

San Diego County is no different. As a rule, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Borrego Springs shingle roof covering, and it shows up seasons before a ceiling stain does.
