Clay and cement roof tiles adorn many Orange County residential and commercial buildings. But more than just a pretty face, clay and cement roof tiles offer incredible durability and protection. They also provide many benefits to southern California homeowners and building operators. But even the best-built roofs may require tile roof repairs over their very long life. When they do, Crank Waterproofing, Roof, and Deck performs expert repairs and tile replacements.
Why Southern California Loves Tile Roofs
Clay and tile roofs perfectly accentuate Mediterranean and Spanish ranch-style homes that are so popular in our area.
Sure, clay and cement tiles cost more than asphalt or composition shingles, but they offer incredible longevity. Clay tiles last well over 50 years and cement tiles easily last up to 50 years.
Our area rates high for the possibility of fire damage.
Clay tile roofs and cement tile roofs offer some fire protection that other roofing materials may not. While Southern California luckily rates as a low risk for damage from tornados or hurricanes winds (especially prolonged Santa Anas) still damage roofs. When that happens, it is time to call Crank for tile roof repairs.
Tile Roof Repairs Require Leak Detectives
Sometimes chasing leaks requires the services of a real leak detective. Cracked and missing roof tiles are easy to spot. But only a pro finds leaks from loose tiles, flashing, or other breaches.
Leak detectives know how to look under the roof for leaks, as well as inspect the attic for roof problems. That’s because even 1 or 2 loose tiles often result in a leak.
Hire Crank Waterproofing, Roof, and Deck, and get your personal private investigator to track down the source of a roof leak. Once the source is identified, you get a proposal that tells you what must be done to resolve the cause of the leak and the leak. You know all work is performed in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.
Tile Roof Repairs Versus Roof Replacement
Should you replace your tile roof or will a few tile roof repairs make more sense? Generally, if more than half of the roof tiles are missing, cracked, or loose, it makes more sense to replace the entire roof.
Considering the life of a tile roof in Southern California is about 50 years, chances are your tile roof needs repairs and not replacement. But this rule of thumb only applies to tile roofs. You can’t say the same for composition shingles or flat roofs.
