A Valley Village roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Clearing the Valley Village gutters in late autumn prevents most of the deterioration the earliest storm would otherwise cause. It is the same story on most Valley Village streets. Skylight seals on Valley Village roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. This holds across Los Angeles County.
