On most jobs, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Imperial Beach roof covering has been maintained. Realistically, we check ventilation on every Imperial Beach project, because a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.

Moss on a shaded Imperial Beach slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.

That is as true in Imperial Beach as anywhere in San Diego County. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Imperial Beach building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. That is as true in Imperial Beach as anywhere in San Diego County. Loose ridge caps on a Imperial Beach roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one once past.

9The Imperial Beach Inspection, Step by Step
Drone access on steep or fragile Imperial Beach roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. On most jobs, core samples settle the argument on a Imperial Beach low-slope roof when damp is suspected but not visible. Moisture readings matter on Imperial Beach low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. A Imperial Beach inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. A correct Imperial Beach inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does.
Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Imperial Beach roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. That is as true in Imperial Beach as anywhere in San Diego County. Emergency tarping on a Imperial Beach roof covering is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. Wind and storm harm on a Imperial Beach roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
