Freeze-thaw and your ridge line
Water gets into hairline cracks, freezes overnight and pushes the mortar apart. After a few Ballarat winters, ridge caps go loose and leak. Our flexible pointing compound handles the temperature swings far better than old cement pointing. Ballarat's frosts, heavy winter rain and big temperature swings put real stress on a roof. Freeze-thaw cycles crack ridge mortar, moss and lichen thrive in the damp, and leaf-filled gutters overflow every winter.
