Why clean or maintain my tile roof, it comes with a 50 year warranty?
If you do not clean your tile roof, there is little chance that it will actually last 50 years. In the Pacific Northwest it rains for months on end. Constant precipitation erodes the tiles, leading to cracks, and moss and algae growth. Concrete and clay tiles were originally made in climates with fair weather and a 50 year life span was certain. With rain, snow, hot and cold constantly, severe erosion takes place over the years.
