Moisture readings matter on Studio City low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the issue in rather than solving it. As a rule, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Studio City job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Infrared scanning on a Studio City commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.
