9The Lemon Grove Inspection, Step by Step

We check the deck from inside the attic on every Lemon Grove job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. That is as true in Lemon Grove as anywhere in San Diego County. We check ventilation on every Lemon Grove project, since a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated working life. It is the same story on most Lemon Grove streets. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Lemon Grove inspection, given that that is where most ceiling stains originate. Core samples settle the argument on a Lemon Grove low-slope roof when water is suspected but not visible. Put simply, a Lemon Grove inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.

Dust and grit settle on Lemon Grove roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Realistically, attic ventilation on a Lemon Grove property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Lemon Grove roofs long before the material itself gives out.
