4 Easy Steps to Having a Clean, Leak-free Tile Roof.
From cracked and broken tiles to the build up of moss and debris, there are many issues that commonly affect tile roofs here in the Pacific Northwest. Protect your investment and lengthen the life of your tile roof by scheduling regular inspections and repairing any problems immediately.
Here at Northwest Roof Maintenance, we specialize in tile roof maintenance and repair. We offer free tile roof inspections and provide trusted roof cleaning, repairs, and maintenance to help keep your tile roof looking great.
The method of moss removal used on your tile roof will depend on a couple factors:
In cases with light moss or loose debris, all that’s needed is compressed air to blow the moss off of the roof. We generally recommend following this with a preventative treatment to stop future moss growth. If the moss is heavier, it might require an additional brushing.
Both air and brushing methods remove moss, but will not necessarily clean the dirt and dinginess off of your tiles. If the roof is in good condition and the tiles are not brittle, we offer a pressure wash. As this can accelerate the deterioration of the roofing materials, we reserve this option only for the most extreme cases, or as required by HOA regulations or homeowner preference.
If you see brown water dripping behind your gutters on your tile roof, you may have a common tile roof problem known as Eave Ponding.
A valley can be a weak point on a tile roof as it is the accumulating point for water and debris.
Our trained crews will carefully lift the roofing tiles and clear out debris, allowing water to flow freely down the valley to the gutter, helping prevent further damage.
Sometimes a broken tile is merely a cosmetic issue, posing no real treat to the integrity of your roof. Other times, a broken tile is a potential leak.
Our professional tile roof consultants will inspect your roof for broken tiles and assess which tiles are dangers to your roofs and which are merely an aesthetic problem.
We’ll work with you to determine the best course of action for your roof.
We use tried and true preventative treatments to keep moss away from your roof, even in our Pacific Northwest weather.
When we apply our moss prevention treatments, we cover the entire roof, ensuring that moss has nowhere to grow.
For tile roofs we use a water based zinc treatment that kills the moss but is gentle on your roof.
This treatment can be applied even in a light drizzle, making it an optimal treatment for the Pacific Northwest.
