A Sun Valley roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. The majority of Sun Valley roofs that give out early give out at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Put simply, checking the attic once past the earliest heavy wet weather in Sun Valley finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage.
