4. The house is 55' x 45'. It would be very expensive to remove the
tile, find the leak, fix it and any damage. The cost could vary from
$5,000 up to $25,000 if the entire roof needed to be done over.

I'm not sure what you mean by "fabric". Tiles - whether clay or
concrete - are basically pretty-pretties, not meant to make a
structure watertight. That is done by what is *under* the tiles - in
my case, 90# roofing hot mopped on. The type of membrane and the
skill with which it was applied are crucial to the water tightness of
the roof..

If that is what you mean then yes, tiles and it would have to be
removed. As far a cost of totally re-roofing, you don't *have* to
have a tile roof, sure cheaper without.
