The majority of Santa Fe Springs roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. It is the same story on most Santa Fe Springs streets. Flashings at the chimney on an older Santa Fe Springs house usually call for attention well before the covering does.
9What the Weather Does to a Santa Fe Springs Roof
Low-slope sections in Santa Fe Springs hold thermal load worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Santa Fe Springs roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Dust and grit settle on Santa Fe Springs roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the soonest time it rains. In practice, sealant is the first casualty in Santa Fe Springs; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Worth knowing before you sign anything. On most jobs, thermal cycling does the damage in Santa Fe Springs — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. A light-coloured covering in Santa Fe Springs measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. Los Angeles County is no different.
In practice, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Santa Fe Springs roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. Denied Santa Fe Springs claims are often reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. On most jobs, we do not advise filing a Santa Fe Springs claim where the damage is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record.
