Jacana Roofing & Weather Profile

What We See in Jacana

Across Jacana's 1950s–1970s post-war brick veneer stock, Concrete Tiles were routinely laid on a rigid cement bed with no polymer flex additive. As the roof frame settles and seasonal temperature variation works on the structure, that rigid bed cracks — the ridge is always the first section to show it.

Why It Happens

Carbonation is the primary failure mechanism in old mortar. Atmospheric CO₂ reacts with the calcium hydroxide in the cement binder, converting it to calcium carbonate — which is weaker and more permeable. Once carbonation progresses through the full depth of the bedding, the bond to the tile is gone.

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.

"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."
