Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Chula Vista roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. This holds across San Diego County. Debris in Chula Vista valleys holds what little damp arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts.
9The Chula Vista Maintenance Year
Skylight seals on Chula Vista roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. In practice, moss on a shaded Chula Vista slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Resealing penetrations on a Chula Vista roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Chula Vista building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. It is the same story on most Chula Vista streets. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Chula Vista property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned.
Photographs with dates are part of every Chula Vista inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. A Chula Vista roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Chula Vista tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. That is as true in Chula Vista as anywhere in San Diego County.
