Roof Leak Detection Services Across Sydney
Common Causes of Roof Leaks
Roof leaks are often caused by rain and can be difficult to identify, as water can travel far from the source before it’s noticed. There are several potential reasons for a roof leak, including:
Broken Tiles
Cracked Pointing
Insufficent Guttering
Clogged stormwater drains
Don’t worry, though! Rhino is here to assist. Using the latest technology and tools, we provide precise and efficient roof leak detection services.

The importance of Roof Repointing
Roof repointing is crucial because mortar plays a vital role in your roof’s structure. It helps enhance the roof’s stability by distributing the weight of heavy materials evenly across the surface, providing added support.
Additionally, mortar acts as a barrier, preventing water from damaging the roof materials and causing severe structural issues.
Maintaining mortar is essential for these reasons. Over time, however, mortar can deteriorate due to exposure to harsh weather conditions like heavy rain and strong winds. This can lead to cracking or erosion, leaving your roof vulnerable to further damage.
Damaged mortar not only increases the risk of water damage but can also impact your home’s insulation, leading to higher energy bills.
Delaying repairs can lead to more costly damage down the line. Repointing your roof before these issues escalate is a smart way to save money and maintain your roof’s integrity.
Roof Repointing
Repointing refers to resealing the ridge capping mortar when the existing mortar begins to crack, allowing water to penetrate. For a successful repointing process, the following conditions must be met:
The existing mortar must be solid (not crumbly or sandy) to provide a firm base for the new pointing (sealant coat) to adhere to. Rhino emphasizes that proper preparation of the ridge caps is essential before repointing (resealing) can begin. This includes removing the old mortar from the cap edges and wire brushing both the caps and the tiles to ensure a clean, smooth surface for the flexible pointing to bond properly.
