But how can you know for sure when you have to replace your tile roof? Such a roof may last up to a century, so there are homeowners who do not know how old their roof actually is to make an estimate of its remaining lifespan. If you are in this situation, you will have to guide yourself after signs indicating that it is time to start planning a roof replacement.
ü Vegetation growth on the roof. The exterior of a tile roof can develop algae, moss and other types of visible vegetation, which maintain moisture and undermine the structure of the tiles. On the other hand, tiles may also have a clean appearance due to the loss of granules, over time - this being another important indicator of the need to replace the roof.
ü Most of the tiles are cracked or chipped and the roof has an overall worn out aspect.
ü The felt paper underlayment presents signs of wear.
ü There are frequent water leaks and water stains on the walls, no matter how many repairs you do.
