Tile Roof Guides

Tile maintenance should prioritize safe visual checks, slipped or cracked pieces, debris in valleys, flashing, roof traffic damage, gutters, and signs that the waterproofing below needs review.

Underlayment work can require careful tile removal, deck review, new waterproofing, valley and penetration details, battens, tile reset, breakage allowances, and cleanup.

One broken tile may be repairable, but repeated failures, brittle underlayment, damaged valleys, or multiple leak locations can change the appropriate scope.

Tile sheds weather, but underlayment, valleys, flashing, battens, penetrations, and transitions provide critical waterproofing. A leak can begin below tile that looks sound.
