Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Hidden Hills building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves. A maintenance record on a Hidden Hills roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. As a rule, nearly all Hidden Hills roof coverings that fail early give out at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.
