Policies covering National City properties generally pay for sudden deterioration and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. As a rule, we the project alongside the adjuster on National City claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter. Realistically, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older National City roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. It is the same story on most National City streets.
Debris in National City valleys holds what little water arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Realistically, national City gets its wet weather in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Put simply, thermal cycling does the damage in National City — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year.
