Roofs in Mission District bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. In practice, attic ventilation on a Mission District property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. We see it on Mission District roofs every week. Thermal cycling does the damage in Mission District — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. It is the same story on most Mission District streets.
