Tile Roof Inspection in Los Banos, CA
Tile lasts decades — the underlayment underneath decides when.
Clay and concrete tile roofs across Los Banos can last 50 years or more — but the underlayment beneath the tiles typically lasts 20 to 30. Our tile roof inspection evaluates both: the visible tile for cracks, slips, and displacement, and the hidden underlayment's likely condition through attic review and detail inspection.
Because tiles crack underfoot, we use walkway techniques and drone imagery to inspect without causing damage, checking every valley, hip, ridge, and flashing transition where tile roofs actually leak.
What Is Tile Roof Inspection?
Tile inspections focus on the failure points: slipped, cracked, or missing tiles; deteriorated underlayment visible at eaves and valleys; corroded or displaced flashing; bird-stops and eave closures; and ridge mortar or foam condition. The attic review reveals underlayment leaks long before they show inside.
What our tile roof inspection covers
- Cracked, slipped, or missing tiles across every slope
- Underlayment condition at eaves, valleys, and penetrations
- Ridge, hip, and rake tile attachment and mortar/foam condition
- Valley metal and flashing for corrosion and displacement
- Bird-stops, eave closures, and debris accumulation points
- Drone or walkway-pad inspection — no foot-traffic tile damage
- Attic review for underlayment leaks and staining
- Remaining-life assessment for tile vs. underlayment separately
How It Works
Damage-free access plan
We use drone imagery and walkway pads — tiles are never walked directly.
Tile-by-tile survey
Every slope checked for cracks, slips, and displacement.
Underlayment evaluation
Eaves, valleys, and attic reveal the hidden layer's condition.
Two-part life assessment
You learn the tile's remaining life and the underlayment's separately.

Tile Roof Inspection FAQs
Do tile roofs need inspections if tiles last so long?
Yes — because the underlayment fails first. A 50-year tile over a 25-year underlayment needs monitoring starting around year 15 to 20.
Will the inspection break my tiles?
No. We use drones and walkway pads specifically to avoid foot-traffic damage — a key reason to hire tile specialists.
What is the most common tile roof leak source?
Valleys, flashing transitions, and deteriorated underlayment — rarely the field tiles themselves.
Can individual tiles be replaced?
Yes, and matching profiles matter. Our report notes tile type and availability for future repairs.
