If you are on the lucky side of the fence, there are actions you can take to prolong the life of your roof.
Monthly Maintenance
The initial maintenance should include hosing down the roof at least once every six months. Because rain might not wash off the spouting systems and the façade it might result in organic growth such as the growth of moss, mold and lichen.
How to Deal with a Leakage
Additionally if you happen to detect a leakage on the inside of the ceiling, that could be coming from a damaged bit of the roof. Arrange an inspection a repair before the problem gets worse.

Because the coating is in direct contact with the material of the roof.
