Clay tile roofs in Virginia require regular attention to withstand the local weather patterns. High humidity can contribute to the growth of moss and algae, which retain moisture and can accelerate material degradation. Heavy rainfall events, common in the Virginia Beach region, can test the integrity of the tile installation and underlayment. Winter brings the possibility of freezing temperatures, which can cause expansion and contraction of any trapped moisture, leading to tile cracks. Our process for clay tile roofs involves inspecting each tile for damage, assessing the condition of the underlayment and flashing, and verifying the roof's drainage capabilities to prevent water intrusion.
