1The Tustin Inspection, Step by Step
On most jobs, a Tustin roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. Put simply, flashing at the wall junction is checked earliest on any Tustin inspection, because that is where nearly all ceiling stains originate. Realistically, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Tustin tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. As a rule, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Tustin project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Infrared scanning on a Tustin commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Moisture readings matter on Tustin low-slope roof coverings. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Mixing materials across a Tustin roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. Coatings suit Tustin buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.
