The one main detail you need to have done when hiring a roofer for finding and repairing a leaking roof is the removal of the felt paper down to the deck. All of the roofing needs to be removed around the roof leak area in order to inspect the roof for mold damage under the roofing tiles.
In this short video we show how quickly this can be done for a small area and a simple roof design. The type of roofing tile on this repair is concrete tile in the "M" tile profile. These tiles are sometimes referred as "low rise" and are known to have a Mediterranean or Villa style or look.
This roofing video shows how to properly repair a leaking tile roof from start to finish. DIY roof repair tips and tricks.
More about this repair:
This is a tile roof leak repair we started in the afternoon. I went in to see what the problem was and the customer hired us on the spot. The leak happen to be a concrete tile roof and the leak was in a field area. I knew it would be a quick. This video shows how quickly you can remove the tiles, cut out the damaged felt paper, find and circle the roof leak, apply new felt paper, seal it up, and install the tile back together "if" you are properly trained.

I live in Florida and have a similar leak in my tile roof. It’s incredibly challenging trying to find someone that you know will do a good job. Tempted to take a look at doing it myself after watching this video. Anyway what would a ballpark figure be for a roof repair similar to this? I’ve had issues with other companies in the past that have done terrible work so I’m very apprehensive to hire someone again. This repair is exactly what I need. Great video thank you. Wish you guys were in Florida.

You had information I tried to listen to very carefully. I'm hard of hearing and so I missed some detail because of your method of speaking. I have started taking tiles off my room and have questions about the underlayment and if it is so damaged by age it needs to be replaced even though there is no penetration. The tile roof was installed about 20 years ago and I am gluing some of the tiles, and replacing others. When it is cooler I will buy the nails and underlayment, maybe plywood, that I need. I am figuring it out as I go. Thanks for your video and the points you presented. I still have questions about what you did at the top of the roof for underlayment. Many videos have installers using mortar. There is none on my roof.

I'm also interested in why it was leaking? Looks like a good overlap on the tiles. Accumulation of debris underneath the tiles, letting the water pool there, over time forcing the water to go sideways?

I think it was an incorrectly driven nail that penetrated the felt. It most likely only leaked during wind driven rain storm in a certain direction.

I have a tile roof and it's lasted for over 20 years. Can the same tiles be reused if the entire felt is replaced? So pretty much I'm putting a new roof with the same tiles, is that possible?

yes , most certainly, just be careful because some of the tiles from when that house was built may be on the endangered list as i like to call it lol. but as long as you have a commonly used tile it shouldnt be a problem, in the event that you break a tile on the install

In America they all talk the talk .But the water ingress originates clearly from some defects with the tiles to get through to the roofing paper .Then the other problem is fixing tiles directly to the roofing paper it erodes the paper and each tile has a nail which penetrants the paper .common sense would tell you that's not good practice. If you use a batten system with spacers that would resolve a lot of these problems you see All the time there's hundreds on line with same problems.

The problem is the pitch on the roofs the lower the pitch the more capillary the water going back up the tile and because the tiles are filled directly on to the paper over a period of time the paper erodes away you can see the marks where the tiles have been

So why is it leaking? There shouldn't be any water under the tile, unless the course spacing is wrong . the underlayment is not the roof the tile should hold the water out.
@SouthCountyRoofing
@SouthCountyRoofing 4 жыл бұрын
"So why is it leaking" Because the felt was done wrong and where it wasn't it was rotted. "There shouldn't be any water under the tile"? What are you smoking. The manufactures specification reads that 20% of the water that hits the roof gets under the tile in a normal rain. Wind driven rains is much higher. The tile is decorative. All the water proofing is under the tile.

@@edrichards9104 You're wrong. It doesn't rain every day. It hasn't rained in weeks over my house. I also in WA. Bet you didn't know that. So, you are going to try and convince me that the manufactures specifications written by engineers for that specific material is wrong and you are right. Or, better yet. You have never read the specifications and like most roofers you know more than everyone else. Right. Keep in mind we fix about 250 tiles roofs a year in So Cal. I am sure if you live in WA (like I do) you wont ever even fix 250 tile roof in your lifetime. Keep trying, they do. Good luck.

We have totally different building codes than you guys have. In some cases a single layer is code. In some cases depending on the pitch of the roof you will need two. It doesn't rain much here and we don't have the risk of very high wind like you guys do.
