A tile roof is designed to last for decades but there are some potential problems that can occur if they are not maintained properly. Your tile roof may fail prematurely due to a number of potential causes including missing flashing, poor maintenance, installation errors and more. When your roof fails prematurely this will lead to the chance that you will be facing a number of expenses. Here are some of the top reasons that a tile roof can fail!
Workmanship
Nearly half of all roofs fall apart prematurely because of a poor quality of workmanship. Many contractors see the prize of a completed working job and they often rush through it which can lead to mistakes. Missing sealants in key areas or missing out on a few fasteners could lead to a roof failing much faster than if it was installed properly and carefully.
Open Flashing
Missing flashing through the roof will often cause it to fail prematurely. Water infiltrates through areas where flashing is not present and this can lead to ongoing leaks every time that it rains as well as extensive water damage from a premature failure.
Problems With Maintenance
Problems with maintenance can often be a common reason why roofs fail as well. When a homeowner decides that a roof does not need to be maintained this can often lead to ongoing leaks and the chance that sealants will dry out and crack. As water is allowed in and maintenance routines start to slip, you could be putting yourself at risk for a number of costly repairs.
Consider these top reasons that your roof could fail and remember that you can work through it with the help of a quality roofing installation team. Contact us today to learn more about a roofing inspection for your home or business!
