Common Causes of Tile Roof Damage
often last for upwards of 40 years, so some homeowners are surprised when they need tile roof repairs. But the lifespan of your roof isn’t necessarily the lifespan of each individual tile. In many cases, heavy storms and hurricanes can lead to roof damage, especially as time goes on and your roof gets older. But if you’re not seeing something obvious like a tile roof leak, you may not even know that your roof is damaged.
For this reason, a good practice is to inspect your roof after a storm to see if you need tile roof repairs. Here are some of the things you should look for:
- Wind-borne debris, such as branches
- Pitted, cracked, or broken tiles
- Loose or missing hip and ridge cap tiles
- Missing sealant between tiles at critical junctures of your roof, including the roof ridge, ridge vent, valley, gable, dormers, around chimneys, vents, and eaves
- Loose tiles, which can be an immediate danger if they become airborne by strong winds
