Airport West Roofing & Weather Profile

What We See in Airport West

The pointing bead that covers the edge between the bedding mortar and the ridge cap is the first line of defence against water tracking into the tile course. On the majority of older roofs I walk, that bead has cracked or pulled away from the tile face — it looks minor from the ground, but water finds the gap immediately.

Why It Happens

Moss and lichen produce weak organic acids as metabolic byproducts. Those acids react with the lime content in cementitious mortar and dissolve the binder matrix progressively. Biological growth and mortar degradation compound each other — you can't fix one without addressing the other.

How We Fix It

Where we find evidence of over-pointing — fresh material applied on top of failed old pointing — we remove both layers completely. Over-pointing adds weight to the roof without restoring the bond to the tile, and the underlying failure continues beneath it.

"True Roof fixed a leak that three other companies couldn't find. Incredibly thorough inspection, identified the real cause and repaired it properly. No more ceiling stains. Five stars, easy."

"Got three quotes. True Roof wasn't the cheapest but was clearly the most professional. 10-year warranty sealed the deal. 6 months later, not a single issue."
