Photographs with dates are part of every Studio City inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Studio City inspection, since that is where the majority of ceiling stains originate. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Studio City roofs, since the sheathing often gives out before the shingle does.
