Infrared scanning on a Culver City commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Worth knowing before you sign anything. In practice, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Culver City project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Put simply, we look over ventilation on every Culver City job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. This holds across Los Angeles County.
