Concrete tile roofs require “two” flashings around vent pipes. One flashing is to be installed with the underlayment and another flashing is to be installed with the roof tiles. However, it is not uncommon to find tile roofs that only have a flashing integrated with the underlayment (i.e. beneath the tile), but no flashing integrated with the tile. This improper method of installation can result in an immense amount of water getting under the roof tiles around the vent pipes, causing accelerated deterioration of the underlayment and battens beneath the tile. If you can’t see a flashing around your plumbing vent pipes & / or flue vent pipes we recommend you have us check to see if these required flashings have been omitted and if so, get them installed promptly. Otherwise, those areas of your concrete tile roof below the vent pipes will very likely require replacement much sooner than the rest of the roof.
