Dust and grit settle on West Covina roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a West Covina roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day once past day, for months. Los Angeles County is no different.
In practice, photographs with dates are part of every West Covina inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. A West Covina roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a West Covina shingle roof covering, and it shows up seasons in advance of a ceiling stain does. It is the same story on most West Covina streets.
