Skylight seals on Toluca Lake roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity.
Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Toluca Lake tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Los Angeles County is no different. Drone access on steep or fragile Toluca Lake roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Realistically, a Toluca Lake roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath.
