A Temple City roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. That is as true in Temple City as anywhere in Los Angeles County. We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Temple City job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. This holds across Los Angeles County. Moisture readings matter on Temple City low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the trouble in rather than solving it. We see it on Temple City roofs every week.
