Signs You Need Slate Roofing Repair

If you’re experiencing any of the problems below, don’t wait to schedule work. A minor fix now can help you avoid larger repairs down the road.

  • Cracked, Chipped, or Broken Tiles: Slate is a natural stone. Over time, exposure to hail, falling branches, or even foot traffic can cause individual slate tiles to crack or break. Damaged slates can compromise the roof's watertight seal and should be replaced to maintain its structural integrity.
  • Slates that Appear Loose or Out of Place: Unlike modern roofing materials, slate tiles are typically hung — not nailed flat — using hooks or nails at the top. If a tile slips or becomes loose, it often signals fastener failure or underlying deterioration in the roof deck.
  • Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls: Since slate roofs are designed with overlapping tiles to shed water naturally, visible leaks often indicate that a tile is missing, misaligned, or that the flashing has failed. Water infiltration can travel along rafters, making the source of the leak harder to spot without a professional inspection.
  • Missing or Rusted Flashing: Flashing is critical on a slate roof, especially around chimneys, valleys, and dormers. If flashing corrodes or pulls away, water can easily bypass intact slates, allowing leaks to occur. Unlike some roofs, slate flashing is often made of copper or lead, and improper replacement materials can accelerate damage.
  • Moss or Plant Growth Along Roof Seams: Moss, algae, or plant life tends to grow between slates where moisture lingers. This not only adds weight but can slowly pry slates apart or cause them to delaminate. Slate’s porous nature means that trapped moisture can freeze and thaw, worsening the damage.
