9What the Weather Does to a West Covina Roof
In practice, expansion and contraction loosens fixings on West Covina roofs long before the material itself gives out. In practice, afternoon sun on a west-facing West Covina slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof. As a rule, sealant is the soonest casualty in West Covina; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. On most jobs, thermal cycling does the deterioration in West Covina — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. As a rule, attic ventilation on a West Covina property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. This holds across Los Angeles County. Tile underlayment in West Covina dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. We see it on West Covina roofs every week.
Checking the attic after the first heavy rain in West Covina finds leaks while they are still stains rather than deterioration. On most jobs, loose ridge caps on a West Covina roof are a five-minute fix ahead of the winds and a much larger one following. In practice, moss on a shaded West Covina slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.
