Ridge Condition Profile
Keilor Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Keilor
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
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
Every ridge cap is manually pressed and checked for movement before we start pointing. Any cap with compromised bedding gets fully re-seated in fresh mortar first — pointing over a loose cap is a callback waiting to happen. The pointing pass is done separately once the bedding has cured.
