9What the Weather Does to a Rancho Santa Fe Roof
On most jobs, tile underlayment in Rancho Santa Fe dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Realistically, dry offshore winds reach Rancho Santa Fe through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. San Diego County is no different. Roofs in Rancho Santa Fe bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. On most jobs, summer heat is the main ageing force on a Rancho Santa Fe roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day following day, for months. Roof surface temperatures in Rancho Santa Fe routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof covering feels it.
A correct Rancho Santa Fe inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. That is as true in Rancho Santa Fe as anywhere in San Diego County. Realistically, infrared scanning on a Rancho Santa Fe commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Rancho Santa Fe inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. This holds across San Diego County.
