Emergency Roof Vent and Pipe Boot Repair, explained.
Plumbing vents, exhaust fans and attic vents all pass through the roof, sealed by small collars and flashings. The rubber on a pipe boot cracks in the sun and splits in storms, and a damaged vent can lose its seal or its cap.
We replace failed boots and flashings, reseat and seal vents and cover openings where necessary. It is often a small repair that ends a stubborn leak.
Signs you need this
- Water runs down a plumbing vent pipe or fan duct
- A rubber boot is cracked or split
- A roof vent is missing, loose or damaged
- A stain appears near a bathroom fan or vent stack
A good fit, and what to know.
We would rather you hear the limits from us than discover them later.
A good fit when
- A leak follows a pipe or vent
- A storm damaged a vent or its cap
- You want the quickest likely fix for a stubborn leak
Worth knowing
- Not every leak is a boot, and some leaks have more than one cause
- Large damage around the pipe may need decking repair
Why do it this way.
Small repair, big effect
Replacing a collar can stop a leak that has soaked a ceiling.
Properly integrated
New flashing is woven into the shingles, not just smeared with sealant.
All penetrations checked

How do I know it is a pipe boot?
Cracked rubber at the pipe and a stain along the vent line are strong clues. We confirm by inspection or a water test.
Can a boot be repaired instead of replaced?
Temporary sealants exist, but replacing the collar is the lasting fix.
Will other vents be checked?
Yes. Boots wear together, and we check the others while we are there.
