9The Calabasas Inspection, Step by Step
Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Calabasas roofs, since the sheathing frequently fails before the shingle does. We see it on Calabasas roofs every week. In practice, infrared scanning on a Calabasas commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. A proper Calabasas inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does. We check ventilation on every Calabasas work, given that a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. Drone access on steep or fragile Calabasas roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Core samples settle the argument on a Calabasas low-slope roof covering when moisture is suspected but not visible.
On most jobs, drainage on Calabasas properties has to handle runoff from above as well as rainfall on the roof itself. On most jobs, vent screening matters in Calabasas where ember intrusion is a real risk rather than a theoretical one. Uplift at the ridge is the usual failure on a Calabasas roof, and it starts at one loose cap rather than across the field.
