What does the El Monte climate do to a flat roof?
The El Monte climate is one of the hottest in the western San Gabriel Valley, with long summer heat that breaks down roof surfacing and drives thermal cycling at seams.
Dust from the riverbeds and freeway traffic settles on roofs, and fall winds push it into drains.
How often should an El Monte commercial roof be inspected?
An El Monte commercial roof should be inspected twice a year, spring and fall, with a heat-season review of seams on older warehouses.
Dealership roofs also need a check after rooftop HVAC service, since service traffic is the top cause of punctures on those buildings. Our commercial roof inspection page explains what each visit covers.
