Viewbank Roofing & Weather Profile

What We See in Viewbank

A lot of the 1960s–1990s established brick veneer housing in Viewbank was laid with a very lean mortar mix for the ridge bedding — standard practice at the time, but not engineered for longevity. After a few decades those mixes crumble at the edges and lose their mechanical bond to the Concrete Tiles profile.

Why It Happens

A cracked pointing bead exposes the bedding mortar to direct rainfall impact. Bedding mix is not designed for repeated wetting — prolonged saturation reduces its compressive strength and eventually causes delamination of the cap from the bed, meaning the cap is held only by its own weight and friction.

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.

"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."
