9The Calabasas Inspection, Step by Step
In practice, core samples settle the argument on a Calabasas low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. This holds across Los Angeles County. On most jobs, infrared scanning on a Calabasas commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. This holds across Los Angeles County. A Calabasas roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. In practice, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Calabasas tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Calabasas inspection, given that that is where most ceiling stains originate. In practice, photographs with dates are part of every Calabasas inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
Where Calabasas buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. Realistically, roof covering pitch across Calabasas varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. As a rule, housing stock in Calabasas runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. Los Angeles County is no different.
