Damp readings matter on San Fernando low-slope roof coverings. Coating over wet insulation seals the trouble in rather than solving it.
Summer heat is the main ageing force on a San Fernando roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day following day, for months. Dry offshore winds reach San Fernando through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. Roofs in San Fernando bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.
