Additions and conversions are common in Granada Hills, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin.
In practice, infrared scanning on a Granada Hills commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Granada Hills inspection, since that is where most ceiling stains originate. Put simply, a Granada Hills inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
