Dry offshore winds reach Spring Valley through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. That is as true in Spring Valley as anywhere in San Diego County. Roofs in Spring Valley bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Put simply, dust and grit settle on Spring Valley roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. It is the same story on most Spring Valley streets.
Roof pitch across Spring Valley varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. This holds across San Diego County. Most roof coverings in Spring Valley fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Solar arrays on Spring Valley roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
