Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older San Dimas roofs, since the sheathing often gives out ahead of the shingle does. This holds across Los Angeles County.

As a rule, keeping a dated maintenance file on a San Dimas property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. Realistically, a San Dimas roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Los Angeles County is no different. Two visits a year keeps a San Dimas roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and inspect the flashings after the first heavy storm. That is as true in San Dimas as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
