      Clay Tile Roofs on Historic Buildings

      Some Helpful Inspection Pointers

      Many historic buildings, particularly in the Southwest, have clay tile roofing.

      Known for their durability and longevity, clay tile roofs are a common type of roof covering on historic buildings. These tiles are made from dried clay, a stiff yet stick fine-grained earth material. These tiles are available in a range of colors and styles, including Spanish, French, and Mission tiles.

      When inspecting a clay tile roof, check for any broken or missing tiles, a sure sign of damage or wear. Broken tiles allow water to enter into the roof and damage the underlying structure. If tiles are broken, they will be accurately replaced to prevent further damage.

      Next, look for signs of cracking or wear on the tiles themselves. Over time, clay tiles can crack or become brittle, leading to leaks and other problems. Make sure to check the tiles carefully for any signs of damage, and replace any tiles that are showing signs of wear.

      Finally, check the flashing around any roof penetrations, such as chimneys or vents. Flashing is used to prevent water from seeping into the roof at these points, and it is important to make sure that it is in good condition. Look for any signs of damage or wear, and replace the flashing if necessary.

      Clay tile roofs require regular maintenance to stay in good shape. It is important to pay close attention to the condition of the tiles and flashing and to make any necessary repairs as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
