9Lake San Marcos Roofing and the Local Climate
Tile underlayment in Lake San Marcos dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. It is the same story on most Lake San Marcos streets. Debris in Lake San Marcos valleys holds what little water arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Lake San Marcos roofs long before the material itself gives out. Realistically, a light-coloured covering in Lake San Marcos measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. On most jobs, low-slope sections in Lake San Marcos hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. Sealant is the first casualty in Lake San Marcos; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
Photographs with dates are part of every Lake San Marcos inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. On most jobs, a Lake San Marcos roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. San Diego County is no different. Put simply, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Lake San Marcos roof has been maintained.
