Trace the leak before fixing it.
Cracked tile fixed. Leak gone.
Cracked or slipped tile is only half the story. We check the layer beneath it and photograph both.

Concrete and clay barrel tiles shed water and protect the layer beneath. The underlayment is the water barrier, so a leak can begin there even when much of the tile looks sound. We lift tile where needed, look at the underlayment, and photograph what is actually letting water through.
A tile can crack when a foot lands on an unsupported part of the barrel. A roofer moves across the roof with that in mind, stepping on supported sections and checking the path afterward. If a tile is broken, simply covering it with sealant may hide the opening without addressing the layer below.
At ridges and hips, mortar can loosen. In valleys, leaves can hold water against tile edges and underlayment. Clearing a valley and checking its lining may matter more than replacing a tile several feet away.



One broken tile is a different problem from underlayment failing across several roof planes. We show you the affected area, the condition of nearby tile, and any weak flashing before recommending a repair or a replacement. If a local repair does the job, you hear that first.
When the tile profile is still made, we bring matching tiles. If the profile has been discontinued, we show you the available choices and explain the visual difference. Concrete and clay also weather differently, so a match deserves a close look before the work begins.
Ask how the roofer will reach the work area, what will be lifted, and how the exposed underlayment will be protected. The written estimate should identify the tile, underlayment, mortar, valley, or flashing work being proposed.
A well kept concrete or clay tile roof can last 30 to 50 years. The underlayment beneath it usually needs attention sooner, often around 20 to 25 years, and that layer decides whether the roof stays dry.

Often a cracked tile can be replaced. We also look at the underlayment and nearby tile to find out whether water reached a vulnerable area.
A foot placed on an unsupported part of a barrel tile can crack it. A roofer plans the route and steps where the tile is supported, then checks for broken pieces after the work.
When the profile is still made, we bring matching tiles. If it is discontinued, we show you the available options and explain how each will look and fit before you choose.
The leak may come from the underlayment beneath otherwise sound tile, or from flashing or a clogged valley. We photograph the problem and explain whether a local repair can address it.
Consider the condition of the underlayment across the roof, the number of broken tiles, and the state of valleys and flashing. A full roof review gives you a sound basis for that choice.
