Put simply, a Lomita roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Walking a Lomita tile roof covering damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. Skylight seals on Lomita roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. This holds across Los Angeles County.
