Challenge: Water Intrusion from Displaced Clay Tiles at Roof-to-Wall Transition

During a detailed attic inspection, our team confirmed that water was entering the structure along the roof-to-wall transition, an area that often requires careful flashing and tile placement to maintain a watertight seal.

Several clay tiles had become displaced over time, allowing water to travel beneath the roofing system during rainfall. Once water penetrated beneath the tiles, it was able to reach the roof decking and migrate toward interior areas.

Further inspection revealed that the battens supporting the tiles in the affected section required removal to access and properly repair the underlying roofing components. If left unaddressed, the displaced tiles and compromised materials could continue allowing water intrusion and potentially lead to additional decking damage.

Because the property operates as a wedding venue in Mansfield, TX, repairs needed to be completed carefully to maintain the roof’s appearance while restoring the protective layers beneath the tile system.

Solution: Targeted Structural and Waterproofing Repairs Beneath Clay Tile System

Our roofing team performed a focused repair designed to address the underlying leak source while preserving the existing clay tile roofing system wherever possible.

• Removed clay tiles in the affected repair area to access the underlying roofing structure
• Removed existing 1×2 battens within the repair section to allow full inspection and replacement of compromised materials
• Replaced up to two sheets of radiant barrier OSB roof decking where water intrusion had caused deterioration
• Installed new ice and water shield to provide enhanced waterproof protection beneath the tile system
• Reset the original clay tiles after completing structural and waterproofing repairs
• Repositioned displaced tiles across the roof to restore proper tile alignment and water-shedding performance

This repair approach ensured that both the structural deck and waterproofing layers were restored before reinstalling the clay tile roofing materials.

Result: Leak Eliminated While Preserving the Clay Tile Roof

The targeted clay tile repair restored the integrity of the roof system at the critical roof-to-wall transition. By addressing both the displaced tiles and the compromised decking beneath them, the roofing system regained its ability to properly direct water away from the structure.

The venue in Mansfield, TX can now continue hosting weddings and events with confidence that the repaired section of the roof is properly sealed and reinforced. The completed repair also maintained the original clay tile appearance, preserving the elegant architectural style that contributes to the venue’s overall atmosphere.
