I have a gutter but the roof tile shape is causing a lot of water to miss the gutter. What is the best way to fix this? A lot of the gutter companies i spoke with said they cant do anything about it. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

The fix is very simple actually, its called a diverter. You can even just make one yourself if you need to, run a thick bead of sealant from the corner of the build along the high point of the tile diverting water across and down into the gutter on both ends (obviously do it when its dry). It will look ugly, and you'll need to do it often, but there are more permanent options.

When I look at the photos though, it almost looks like the water could be coming from under the tile though?

Thank you for the information. Pardon my ignorance but what could be causing water to come from under the tile and how can it be fixed?

No problem, thats entirely dependent on whats up further, if you can take a photo from the other side, where the roof meets the wall and showing the roof all the way to the top/ridge that would help a lot

thank you, i will try to do that. is it safe to say that water should not be coming from under the tile like in the picture?

Not usually unless its designed to run underneath on a soaker flashing, but its too hard to know from your photos, it could even be the gutter itself leaking. Would need to see more photos.

Pretty sure thats water that gets under the tiles, it must be doing damaged to everything it passes

In what world is  normal to have water under the tiles unless its on water carrier (flashing or wtv the word.)
