Matching provisions in a policy matter on Chatsworth tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued.
Skylight seals on Chatsworth roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Trimming back branches over a Chatsworth roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. That is as true in Chatsworth as anywhere in Los Angeles County. In practice, moss on a shaded Chatsworth slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.
