3How We Inspect a Bellflower Roof
A proper Bellflower inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does. Realistically, we check ventilation on every Bellflower job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. Damp readings matter on Bellflower low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it.
