Realistically, a maintenance record on a El Segundo roof covering also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. That is as true in El Segundo as anywhere in Los Angeles County. On most jobs, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any El Segundo building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.
