Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Tarzana inspection, since that is where most ceiling stains originate.
Denied Tarzana claims are frequently reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. Los Angeles County is no different. A Tarzana adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Deductibles on Tarzana policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case.
