On most jobs, skylight seals on Pine Valley roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. A maintenance record on a Pine Valley roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. In practice, keeping a dated maintenance file on a Pine Valley property pays for itself the soonest time a claim is questioned. San Diego County is no different.
