Ridge Condition Profile
Castlemaine Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Castlemaine
Hip and valley junctions are the hardest-working sections on a tiled roof — they concentrate water flow and carry more structural movement than anywhere else. On Melbourne's established period homes, the pointing along these joints is reliably the first to fail.
Why It Happens
When pointing cracks, it creates a capillary pathway for water. Capillary action doesn't require hydrostatic pressure — surface tension pulls water into any crack wider than a few microns. Once water reaches the tile bedding it softens the bond and the cycle of deterioration accelerates.
How We Fix It
On properties with a heritage overlay we source matching terracotta or concrete cap profiles where replacement is required. Using the wrong profile is both a council compliance issue and a water-shedding issue — ridge cap geometry is designed for a specific tile system.
