In practice, core samples settle the argument on a Los Alamitos low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Los Alamitos tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
On most jobs, a maintenance record on a Los Alamitos roof covering also helps at claim time, given that it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. This holds across Orange County. Put simply, checking the attic following the soonest heavy rain in Los Alamitos finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. In practice, annual inspection on a Los Alamitos property typically adds two to three seasons to the back end of a roof's service service life.
