Put simply, attic ventilation on a Temple City property is not optional — trapped high temperatures cooks the covering from underneath. Temple City gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Temple City roof coverings long before the material itself gives out. It is the same story on most Temple City streets.
