What Causes Tile Roof Damage?
Roof tiles, while durable, aren’t indestructible. Here are some of the most common causes of damage to tiled roofs:
- Weather Extremes: Prolonged exposure to sun, heavy rain, and hail can cause tiles to crack or become dislodged over time.
- Poor Installation: If your roof was not installed correctly, tiles might not be seated properly, increasing the risk of cracks.
- Foot Traffic: Walking on the roof without proper safety measures can lead to breakage, especially if the weight isn’t evenly distributed.
- Natural Wear and Tear: Roof tiles don’t last forever. Over time, even high-quality tiles can degrade and become brittle.
- Tree Debris: Falling branches or even the consistent build-up of leaves can damage tiles or clog valleys and gutters.
- Poor Roof Ventilation: Excessive heat and moisture trapped in your attic can lead to thermal expansion and tile damage.
If you’ve noticed cracked or slipping tiles, it’s time to speak with a professional before the problem worsens. Bayside Roof Repairs and Restoration are your go-to experts for tiled roofing repair, providing quality services backed by experience and a strong local reputation.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Cracked Roof Tiles
Small cracks might not seem like a big deal, but they can lead to costly issues if left unattended. Water can seep through the cracks, damaging the underlayment, insulation, and even the interior of your home. Cracked tiles can also allow pests like rodents and insects to enter your roof cavity.
A timely inspection and tile roof repairs by a trusted expert can save you thousands in potential water damage and future structural repairs.
When Should You Call a Professional?
If you’re seeing any of the following signs, it’s time to get in touch with a professional roof repair specialist:
- Visible cracks or broken tiles
- Leaking during or after rain
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Unusual sounds in the attic (could be from pests)
- Moss, lichen, or algae growth on tiles
Don’t wait until it becomes a major problem — the sooner you act, the more affordable the fix will be.
