Dust and grit settle on Borrego Springs roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. San Diego County is no different.
Reclaimed tile can be matched on Borrego Springs heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. As a rule, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Borrego Springs where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. As a rule, silicone coatings hold up well on Borrego Springs roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.
9The Borrego Springs Inspection, Step by Step
We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Borrego Springs job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. San Diego County is no different. Water readings matter on Borrego Springs low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. In practice, photographs with dates are part of every Borrego Springs inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Realistically, a Borrego Springs roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Borrego Springs inspection, since that is where the majority of ceiling stains originate.
On most jobs, expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Borrego Springs roofs long in advance of the material itself gives out. Tile underlayment in Borrego Springs dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Dry offshore winds reach Borrego Springs through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist.
