Resealing penetrations on a Pacoima roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Skylight seals on Pacoima roof coverings want checking annually, as they give out quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. As a rule, a maintenance record on a Pacoima roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected.
