Put simply, infrared scanning on a Palmdale commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. In practice, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Palmdale tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
Matching provisions in a policy matter on Palmdale tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. Los Angeles County is no different. Put simply, supplements are normal on Palmdale claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Realistically, a Palmdale adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough.
