In practice, a Sun Valley roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. As a rule, damp readings matter on Sun Valley low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the trouble in rather than solving it. This holds across Los Angeles County. Infrared scanning on a Sun Valley commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.
