Flashings at the chimney on an older Fillmore house usually need attention well before the covering does. Checking the attic once past the first heavy rain in Fillmore finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. On most jobs, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Fillmore building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.

4Roof Age Across Fillmore
