Broken roof tiles can cause water infiltration and damage to the felt underlayment, and will eventually lead to leaks. Therefore, homeowners should have a roof inspection annually, and any broken tiles detected should be replaced right away. Broken roof tiles are commonly found on homes of all ages, even brand new homes.
Broken roof tiles are relatively inexpensive to replace if there are only a few. However, you should always hire a professional both for the inspection and the repairs. Walking on a tile roof can easily cause cracked tiles and is not recommended unless you are experienced.

Great pic of the broken tile. This type of roof is very easy to repair also.

You do want to walk lightly on tile roof's. You don't want to cause more damage than you may already have.
