Roof surface temperatures in Spring Valley routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Spring Valley slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof. Put simply, sealant is the first casualty in Spring Valley; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
Matching provisions in a policy matter on Spring Valley tile roof coverings where the original profile is discontinued. On most jobs, policies covering Spring Valley properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Deductibles on Spring Valley policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. We see it on Spring Valley roofs every week.
