9 Warning Signs Your Tile Roof is Begging for Repairs

9 Warning Signs Your Tile Roof is Begging for Repairs

A tile roof does more than shield your house - it safeguards your family, keeps you dry, and enhances the appeal of your property. However, it won't last forever. Ignoring signs of deterioration can lead to expensive repairs. Detecting these issues early can save you time, money, and headaches.


At JMZ Roof Restorations, we've tackled over 35,000 roof restorations since 1992, gaining firsthand knowledge of every roofing problem. Below, we share nine common signs that your tile roof needs attention, along with recommended solutions:

Signs Your Tile Roof Needs Repairs

1. Cracked or Broken Tiles

• Cause: Weather events like heavy rain, strong winds, and falling debris can damage tiles.

• Risk: Water can seep through cracks, leading to structural damage.

• Solution: Replace damaged tiles promptly to preserve your roof’s integrity.

2. Discoloured or Stained Tiles

• Cause: Moss, algae, and mould thrive in damp conditions, leaving stains.

• Risk: Trapped moisture accelerates tile degradation.

• Solution: Restore the appearance and condition of your roof with professional cleaning.

3. Leaks

• Cause: Faulty tiles or underlayment allow water to infiltrate your roof cavity.

• Risk: Mould growth and structural damage result from prolonged leaks.

• Solution: Address leaks promptly with expert inspection and repairs.

4. Sagging Roofline

• Cause: Poor support, water damage, or neglect.

• Risk: A sagging roofline signals major structural issues, compromising safety.

• Solution: Trust licensed professionals for structural repairs.

5. Tile Deterioration

• Cause: Gradual erosion caused by natural wear and weather exposure.

• Risk: Tiles lacking granules become vulnerable to leaks and damage.

• Solution: Roof restorations can replenish tile surface and provide protection.

6. Moss or Algae Growth

• Cause: Gradual erosion caused by natural wear and weather exposure.

• Risk: Tiles lacking granules become vulnerable to leaks and damage.

• Solution: Roof restorations can replenish tile surface and provide protection.

7. Clogged Gutters

• Cause: Roof debris like leaves and branches obstruct gutters.

• Risk: Water pooling causes leaks and damages the roof surface.

• Solution: Regular gutter cleaning prevents drainage problems.

8. Damaged Flashing

• Cause: Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights deteriorates over time.

• Risk: Compromised flashing heightens the risk of leaks.

• Solution: Replace or repair flashing to ensure water resistance.

9. General Wear and Tear

• Cause: Aging and weather exposure result in porous or cracked tiles.

• Risk: Neglected wear escalates into extensive damage or replacements.

• Solution: Opt for roof restoration to refresh both appearance and functionality.
