In practice, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Visitacion Valley tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Put simply, core samples settle the argument on a Visitacion Valley low-slope roof covering when water is suspected but not visible. Put simply, drone access on steep or fragile Visitacion Valley roof coverings gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
