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.
As a rule, roof pitch across Imperial Beach varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Roof covering age across Imperial Beach clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. We see it on Imperial Beach roofs every week. Second-storey additions in Imperial Beach create a junction between old and new roof that calls for proper flashing rather than sealant. This holds across San Diego County.
