On most jobs, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older North Hills roofs, since the sheathing often fails ahead of the shingle does. Los Angeles County is no different. Realistically, a correct North Hills inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. This holds across Los Angeles County. Moisture readings matter on North Hills low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the trouble in rather than solving it. Put simply, core samples settle the argument on a North Hills low-slope roof when water is suspected but not visible. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
