In practice, infrared scanning on a San Fernando commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. It is the same story on most San Fernando streets.
the San Fernando building department handles the paperwork for roofing the job in San Fernando, and a licensed contractor pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the owner. Work in San Fernando is inspected as well as permitted — the San Fernando building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. We see it on San Fernando roofs every week. On most jobs, fire-zone properties around San Fernando carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against.
