The ridge line, where two sections of roof meet along the peak, is a common weak spot on Coorparoo homes, especially older tiled roofs where the ridge caps have moved or cracked over the years. Ridge cap sealing closes these gaps as part of a wider roof cavity proofing job or on its own where the ridge is the only issue.
The crew checks along the full ridge line for caps that have lifted, cracked or come loose from their original fitting, along with the mortar or fixings holding them in place. Where a cap has shifted enough to leave a gap into the roof cavity, it gets refitted and sealed so the join sits flush again.
This kind of gap is easy to miss from the ground, since ridge caps sit at the highest point of the roof and often look fine from below even when a section has lifted. Getting this checked alongside vents, eaves and tile lines gives a fuller picture of where a Coorparoo roof might still be letting something in. Older tiled roofs across Coorparoo built before the 1980s tend to need this check more than newer metal roofs, since the ridge caps on tile roofs sit on mortar that dries out and cracks over time.
