A lot of times a poor installation of the flashing is the roof of the problem. Flashing plays an important role in maintaining solid roof structure, its primary function is to keep water draining correctly.
Older tile roofs tend to have issues with loose caps, the strong adhesive that holds the caps on over time withers away. Even one loose cap can break the tile and create a leak.
As an underlayment there is a waterproofing membrane. With time this can deteriorate and then need to be replaced by a roofing professional.
The vallied areas common to most roofs are spots that tend to accumulate debris, normally this is due to a messed up flashing installation. If enough debris builds up it can cause water to build up under the tiles resulting in a leak.
Broken tiles are perhaps the easiest to spot. There are many ways in which a tile can break, even walking on them can break them. It is wise to fix broken tiles quickly, as they can easily lead to a leak.
Missing Tiles - Bottom line is that missing tiles are a problem. Even one can lead to a leak and should be addressed promptly.
Visible Leaks - This is normally what makes homeowners take action, and normally when water is already visibly leaking into the house there is a sizable problem that needs a professional.
Broken & Damaged Tiles - Tile roofing is popular due to its beauty, so obviously broken tiles take away from its appeal. But the bigger issue is that broken tiles can lead to major leaks.
Damaged Underneath Layers - These layers are difficult for homeowners to be aware due to their location, but damaged underneath layers can lead to massive leaks. A proper roof inspection can identify the condition of the underneath layers.
No matter the issue, it is always wise to find a professional roof repair contractor rather than trying to fix the issue yourself.
