Skylight seals on Oceanview roof coverings want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Two visits a year keeps a Oceanview roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters in advance of the rains, and check the flashings once past the first heavy storm. San Francisco County is no different.
