On most jobs, checking the attic after the first heavy rain in Temple City finds leaks while they are still stains rather than deterioration. Realistically, moss on a shaded Temple City slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Put simply, skylight seals on Temple City roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity.
