The failure to find and correct minor roof deterioration in the earliest stages is probably the greatest cause of residential roof leaks and damages. This is particularly true in the cases of low-sloped / flat roofs and tile roofs. The best preventive roof maintenance that one can do is to perform roof inspections and roof tune-ups to identify and solve problems as they occur.
Residential roofs get more abuse from the elements and deciduous trees than any other part of the building. Leaves that are clogging the valley drainage or chimney flashings can force water to divert to other areas causing leaks. One slipped and cracked tile can expose the underlayment. After the underlayment is exposed to the sun for over 6 months, the underlayment will break down and will not be waterproof any longer.
