Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Twin Peaks roofs, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does.

In practice, core samples settle the argument on a Twin Peaks low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Twin Peaks tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.

Tile is widespread across Twin Peaks, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches homeowners out.
