They look great, don&#8217;t need much maintenance, are highly resistant to the harsh weather and suitable in just about any climate.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Hiring a professional for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centuryrooftile.com\/roofresources.html\">Bay Area roofing repair<\/a> is best if you intend to keep your investment for as long as possible. Here&#8217;s how you can maintain your clay tile roof.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check For Breaks Or Cracks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every year, do a visual inspection on the state of your clay roof. While it may make sense to actually walk on the roof, it will be better to bring along a binocular and a ladder. Check for leaks, cracks or broken tiles. When you do, get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centuryrooftile.com\/\">Bay Area roofing contractor<\/a> to have it repaired as soon as possible. It&#8217;s not advisable to walk on the clay tiles as you could risk cracking or damaging them even further.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleaning Your Clay Roof Tiles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A power washer makes cleaning easier and it makes for good-looking clay tiles that stand the test of time. A power washer is a specialized equipment that can churn out water at a high pressure and spray it out with a nozzle. The pressurized water quickly clears away stuck dirt, dust and debris off your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centuryrooftile.com\/roofproducts.html\">clay tile roofing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One trick to doing power washing right is to keep the nozzle aimed at a safe distance from the tiles. Use a mild dish detergent and warm water to take out the algae, then apply sealant to prevent molds and algae from returning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safety First<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Should you decide to clean the tile roof yourself, take precautionary measures. Ask the help of a friend who can keep an eye on you while you do the power washing. Clay tiles can get really slippery when they&#8217;re wet, and the risk of slipping and falling will be greater. Consider hiring a professional Bay Area roofing contractor who&#8217;s experienced at power washing clay tiles if you&#8217;re not 100% confident.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits Of Having Clay Roof Tiles<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Better Energy Savings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bay Area homeowners enjoy a lower energy bill because of clay&#8217;s excellent roofing properties. During warm, sunny days, the clay tiles attract heat and keeps your home cooler without needing to turn on the AC, resulting in a lower power bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highly Durable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The firing process makes clay material very durable against the weather and outdoor elements. Plus, clay tiles keep their natural color for a long time and they do not break and chip easily under rain or heat.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Our East Bay Roofing Contractors for Help<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s always best to call in the pros when dealing with clay tile roofing and repairs.
