Walking a Mission Bay tile roof covering damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. San Francisco County is no different. Annual inspection on a Mission Bay property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. As a rule, resealing penetrations on a Mission Bay roof covering every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Two visits a year keeps a Mission Bay roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Mission Bay building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.

Realistically, mission Bay gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Realistically, low-slope sections in Mission Bay hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. Put simply, thermal cycling does the damage in Mission Bay — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year.
