Ridge Condition Profile
Ravenswood Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Ravenswood
On double-hip roofs, the junction between the main ridge and the hip ridges carries mortar load from two directions simultaneously. That complexity makes it harder to compact the bedding properly at installation, and it's consistently where I find the first significant failure on these roof profiles.
Why It Happens
The bond between mortar and tile depends on the surface porosity of the tile and the water-cement ratio of the original mix. Old terracotta is highly porous — it absorbs moisture from the mortar during curing, which weakens the interfacial bond even when the mix proportions are correct.
How We Fix It
Failed bedding is cut back to the tile surface with an angle grinder, the dust blown out with compressed air, the substrate dampened, and a properly proportioned polymer-modified mix applied. Skipping any one of those steps is where repointing callbacks originate.
