QuestionMy tile roof is 2 years old and has always left a thin coating of mud (the color of the tile) on the inside courtyard floor after a rain. It seems to be getting worse. Is this a common characteristic?Ryan MccutchanCommunity AnswerIs your roof concrete tile or clay tile? This typically means that your tile is eroding, which is generating debris and depositing it on your courtyard floor. Depending on the age and style of the tile and the level of degradation, you may be able to further preserve the existing tile with a sealer/coating.
