9Keeping a Westlake Village Roof in Service
Two visits a year keeps a Westlake Village roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings following the first heavy storm. As a rule, skylight seals on Westlake Village roof coverings want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Westlake Village property pays for itself the earliest time a claim is questioned. It is the same story on most Westlake Village streets. On most jobs, clearing the Westlake Village gutters in late autumn prevents nearly all of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. A maintenance record on a Westlake Village roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. A Westlake Village roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years.
Put simply, older Westlake Village buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one. Roof pitch across Westlake Village varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Additions and conversions are common in Westlake Village, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin.
