Clay and Concrete Tile Roof Repair and Replacement in Lehi, Utah

Clay and concrete tile can remain in service for many years because the visible roofing material can remain intact for decades, but the condition of the materials below matters just as much as the visible tile.

A tile roof should be evaluated when loose flashing, valley problems, broken tile or interior stains show up, because the surrounding roof needs to be checked before we decide how much work is necessary.

Wind can loosen or shift individual clay or concrete tiles in Lehi, especially near exposed roof edges, so secure attachment and prompt replacement of damaged pieces help keep the underlayment covered.

Attic and ceiling stains can help locate a tile-roof leak when the surface above does not show clear damage helping us focus on the roof details most likely to be allowing water inside.

Flashing is especially important on a tile roof in Lehi because water can travel beneath the pieces toward walls, chimneys and other transitions, so those joints need integrated metal and underlayment details.

A tile roof combines clay or concrete tile that forms the outer roof covering with underlayment, battens and flashing that complete the roofing system.

• Clay tile: Clay tile is made from fired clay and works well as a long-lasting visible roof material, but a damaged piece can expose the waterproofing below.
• Concrete tile: Concrete tile is a durable tile choice that weighs more than typical asphalt shingles, so the system cannot be treated as a direct swap for lighter roofing on every home.
• Underlayment: Underlayment provides the waterproof backup when water moves beneath individual pieces, and we inspect it closely when water is reaching the materials below.
• Battens and attachment: Some tile systems combine support strips and fasteners as part of the attachment method, and the installation method should fit the product rather than use a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Flashing and valleys: Flashing carries runoff past joints where the visible tile cannot complete the detail alone, and the surrounding tile, underlayment and metal all matter during repair.

Tile-roof work can range from repairing a limited section of tile to replacing worn underlayment while preserving reusable pieces, so we explain whether the problem is local or more widespread.

• Broken tile replacement: When damage is limited to minor damage confined to individual tiles, we install replacement pieces where the damage occurred, and we confirm that the leak is not coming from a larger problem underneath.
• Flashing repair and replacement: When flashing fails around roof openings and vertical transitions, we replace damaged flashing and inspect the surrounding materials, so nearby reusable tile can remain in place when it is still in good condition.
• Valley repair: For a leaking or poorly draining valley, we restore the metal channel and waterproofing where runoff is concentrated, so water does not continue moving beneath the tile along the valley.
• Ridge and hip tile repair: When ridge or hip pieces begin exposing the high roof joint below, we secure the joint and reinstall reusable pieces.
• Lift-and-relay underlayment replacement: We take up reusable clay or concrete pieces in a controlled order, then renew the underlayment and address damaged flashing below before reinstalling the saved tile.
• Full tile roof replacement: Full replacement makes sense when damage is widespread across the tile and hidden waterproofing, and the finished roof does not depend on deteriorated components from the old system.

Which of these your roof needs comes out of the inspection. The tiles usually outlive everything else up there, so we would rather relay yours than sell you new ones.

Lift-and-relay underlayment replacement preserves reusable tile while renewing the hidden roofing layers that keep water out, which lets us rebuild water-control details that contributed to the leak.

1. Lift and organize the tileWe remove the tile needed to expose the work area, and the saved material remains protected until waterproofing is complete.
2. Remove the old underlaymentAfter the tile is removed, we remove the underlayment covering the hidden roof surface, so sound material can be separated from areas that need repair.
3. Repair damaged woodIf we find wood damage around a valley or roof transition, we show you the exposed damage and explain the added work before the new waterproofing is installed.
4. Install new tile-compatible underlaymentWe install new waterproofing over the prepared wooden roof deck and complete roof-joint details before reinstallation begins.
5. Relay the tileAfter the waterproofing is complete, we relay the original tile across the rebuilt section, and confirm the rebuilt section is properly covered and secure.
