On a Fountain Valley tile roof we lift field tiles in two or three places to date the underlayment, which takes about fifteen minutes. Moisture readings matter on Fountain Valley low-slope roofs, since coating over wet insulation seals the problem in.
What makes roofs in Fountain Valley different?
Dry offshore winds reach Fountain Valley through autumn and lift tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs lap least well. Fountain Valley takes its rain in short heavy bursts, so drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.
What maintenance does a Fountain Valley roof need?
Trimming branches back from a Fountain Valley roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering. Two visits a year keeps a Fountain Valley roof honest: clear valleys and gutters before the rains, check flashings after the first storm.
Is it better to repair or replace a roof in Fountain Valley?

What happens on the day of a Fountain Valley roofing job?
Flashing at every penetration is replaced rather than reused on a Fountain Valley roof. Nothing is left open overnight on a Fountain Valley job — the deck is dried in the same day it is exposed.
