Professional Tile Roof Repair Services: Ensuring Longevity and Protection

Do you currently have an existing clay, slate, or concrete tile roof? If so, it’s highly likely that you are experiencing issues with this system. While concrete roof tiles are marketed as a “lifetime” roofing solution with a lifespan of 75+ years, the underlying roofing system has a propensity for failure. It is this system beneath the tiles that plays a crucial role in keeping moisture out of your house, ensuring its structural integrity. The primary purpose of the tiles is to serve as a protective barrier and enhance the aesthetic appeal of your structure.

Understanding the Causes of System Failure

Concrete roof tiles are installed and securely fastened to battens, which are wooden furring strips running horizontally across the roof deck. Until recently, the use of direct-to-deck battens and #30 underlayment was considered a quality roofing system (as recently as 2012). However, advancements in roofing materials and technology have rendered these “direct deck” systems inadequate. This system fails to allow for the inevitable moisture that can penetrate beneath the tiles to escape from behind the battens. The presence of standing water deteriorates the battens, leading to the degradation of the #30 underlayment. The result is a leaky roof, despite the promised longevity of the “lifetime” roof. Additional factors contributing to these leaky roof systems include undersized valley metal flashings, years of debris accumulation, and the adverse effects of weathering and wildlife, all of which compound to create a nightmarish situation—a “lifetime” roof failure.
