What does the Pico Rivera climate do to a flat roof?
The Pico Rivera climate is hotter and drier than the coast, and flat roofs here go through wide daily temperature swings every summer that work seams and flashings loose.
Dust from the riverbeds and nearby freeways settles in drains, and fall Santa Ana winds can drive it across the roof.
How often should a Pico Rivera commercial roof be inspected?
A Pico Rivera commercial roof should be inspected twice a year, spring and fall, and after strong wind events that blow river bottom dust and debris onto roofs.
Large distribution roofs here also benefit from a full scan every year, because a seam failure in the middle of the field goes unseen from the hatch. Our commercial roof inspection page explains what each visit covers.
