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:
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

• Risk: A sagging roofline signals major structural issues, compromising safety.
• Solution: Trust licensed professionals for structural repairs.
