Core samples settle the argument on a Poway low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. San Diego County is no different.
The permit record for a Poway property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. As a rule, fire-zone properties around Poway carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against. the county or city building department covering Poway handles the paperwork for roofing the project in Poway, and a licensed contractor pulls it as part of the work rather than leaving it to the property owner.
