A West Los Angeles roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by seasons. Los Angeles County is no different. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any West Los Angeles building — blocked outlets cause more harm here than the storms themselves. Loose ridge caps on a West Los Angeles roof are a five-minute fix ahead of the winds and a much larger one once past.
