We Repoint Before The Small Cracks Become A Big Problem
What Are Ridge Capping and Why Does It Fail?
Ridge capping, also known as roof capping, is triangular-shaped tiles used to cover the joints where two sides of the roof meet. It is the highest and most exposed part of your roof, held in place by a bed of mortar known as pointing.
Over the years, the Adelaide sun, temperature swings, winter storms, and mortar drying out cause cracks, and eventually it crumbles, causing ridge tiles to lift, shift, and water to go underneath.
At Local Roof Care, we strive to bring Adelaide’s ageing roofs back to sound, watertight condition, at the ridge line and everywhere else – one roof at a time.
Not Sure If Your Ridge Capping Needs Attention?
6 signs your ridge capping needs a proper look before the next storm finds the hidden gap.[[
What Happens When You Leave it Unchecked?
Traditional mortar pointing typically needs attention every 10 to 15 years. Left unchecked, ridge capping loosens over time, and that turns into a safety hazard for you and your family during high winds and heavy storms.
Once water gets past failed pointing, it tracks down into the roof cavity, damaging insulation and ceilings and spreading mould. Deteriorating capping and porous tiles let moisture in gradually, often well before any leak shows up inside, particularly through Adelaide’s wetter winter months.
The longer repointing waits, the further the damage spreads, and the more it costs to put right.
