Ridge Condition Profile
Hepburn Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Hepburn
On homes near busy arterial roads or rail lines, ground vibration is subtle but cumulative. Over 20 to 30 years it works on the adhesion between mortar and tile profile, and eventually the bond fails — usually at the ridge ends and hip junctions first.
Why It Happens
On Melbourne winter nights, frost can form on unprotected ridge mortar. Water expanding by approximately 9% as it freezes is sufficient to drive crack propagation in already-weakened pointing — each freeze-thaw cycle incrementally widens existing cracks.
How We Fix It
We don't use accelerated-set mortars on repointing work. Fast-set mixes are convenient but carry lower long-term bond strength and are more prone to shrinkage cracking. Standard 28-day cure mix, scheduled accordingly.
