Put simply, converted garages in Lemon Grove are a common source of leaks since the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Second-storey additions in Lemon Grove create a junction between old and new roof that calls for done right flashing rather than sealant. Streets in Lemon Grove that were built out together tend to require roofs together, which is why one re-roof more often than not brings three more on the same block. This holds across San Diego County.
