Maintenance Tips
Keep your Clay Tile Roofing roof performing at its best
Gentle Cleaning
Use low-pressure washing only. High pressure can damage tile surfaces and remove protective patina.
Broken Tile Replacement
Replace cracked or broken tiles promptly to prevent water intrusion.
Underlayment Inspection
The underlayment will need replacement before the tiles. Monitor condition every 20-25 years.
Flashing Maintenance
Metal flashings may need attention during the tile's lifespan.
Moss/Algae Treatment
Address organic growth with appropriate cleaners to prevent moisture retention.
Professional Inspections
Annual inspection by qualified tile roof specialists recommended.
