In practice, photographs with dates are part of every Outer Mission inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. On most jobs, infrared scanning on a Outer Mission commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. On most jobs, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Outer Mission shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Core samples settle the argument on a Outer Mission low-slope roof covering when damp is suspected but not visible.
Clearing the Outer Mission gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the soonest storm would otherwise cause. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets. Two visits a year keeps a Outer Mission roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters in advance of the rains, and check the flashings once past the soonest heavy storm. On most jobs, a Outer Mission roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof covering without it by years.
