Pointing & Repointing

Roof pointing is one of your roof's most crucial structural components, even if it may not mean much to you as a homeowner. The mortar or cement points to your roof's borders, and lines are called points.

Older houses frequently contain rigid cement pointing that is prone to fracture. Although flexible pointing compounds used in newer homes are typically more equipped to endure temperature variations and weather conditions, they are still not impervious.

If not immediately fixed, damaged or fractured pointing might become a serious structural issue. The following are some warning signals to look out for that could indicate that it's time for some roof repointing:

• pointing that has holes or cracks.
• tiles are absent.
• leaky roof
• Broken tiles or loose cement or mortar.
• Cement pointing on older roofs.

It can be challenging to tell whether you require repointing, and many of these symptoms may really be caused by unrelated issues. Repointing or another option can be the best answer for your roofing issues, according to a skilled roofer like those at Upside Down.
