As a rule, resealing penetrations on a San Fernando roof every few years is the cheapest the job anyone will ever do on the building. A maintenance record on a San Fernando roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Flashings at the chimney on an older San Fernando house generally need attention well in advance of the covering does.
