Thermal cycling does the damage in Financial District — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. We see it on Financial District roofs every week. Debris in Financial District valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Financial District roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day following day, for months.
