Clay Tile Roofs

Clay Tile Roofs

Home buyers do you allow your home inspector to walk on a clay tile roof during a home inspection?  This is an interesting question for a buyer purchasing a new home. Precise Home Inspections suggest this is not a good home inspection practice. However, many home inspectors state with great claims through video and their websites.  All roofs are inspected by walking them during their inspection. However, this can mislead the consumer because there is an exception, clay tile roofs. The two leading causes are debris and humans. With humans walking the roof there is a great chance that a home inspector can crack a tile roof during the inspection.  Another logical way of inspecting a clay tile roof is with a ladder and binoculars to make sure that no further latent defects. This can be done during the inspection process. This is inspection process can visually see other defects with close up appearance, such tile slippage, cracks and other defects.

Walking on roof can cause great damage and the loss of life. Although, Precise Home inspections will walk on low levels that ensure safety, but it not required by Florida law. I recommend Chandani roofing as second option to evaluate the safety and life expectancy.
