A maintenance record on a Hayes Valley roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. On most jobs, checking the attic after the first heavy wet weather in Hayes Valley finds leaks while they are still stains rather than harm. Clearing the Hayes Valley gutters in late autumn prevents nearly all of the deterioration the first storm would otherwise cause.
