Roofs near the water in Encinitas corrode from the fixings outward. The shingle can look sound while the nails holding it have lost half their section.
Skylight seals on Encinitas roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Annual inspection on a Encinitas property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. In practice, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Encinitas building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves.
