Roof Vent & Pipe Boot Repair
Vents and Pipe Boots: The Easy Leaks to Miss
Plumbing vent pipes come through the roof inside a rubber or metal boot. Sun and cold crack the rubber over time, and once it splits, water runs straight down the pipe into the house. It’s one of the most common leaks we hear about.
Roof vents and ridge vents can leak too, from cracked housings, missing fasteners or wind-driven rain. And a roof that can’t breathe holds heat and moisture in the attic, which is hard on shingles and decking.
We replace cracked boots and damaged vents and check the shingles around them. If attic airflow looks like a problem, we’ll point it out.

Rhode Island weather
Why Rhode Island Roofs Leak
Weather is behind most of the problems we hear about.
🌬️
Coastal wind
Wind off Narragansett Bay and the South County shore can lift and peel shingles loose.
🌧️
Nor’easters
Wind-driven rain looks for any gap, especially at flashing around chimneys, walls and vents.
🧊
Snow & ice dams
Snow that melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the cold eaves can back water up under the shingles.
🌊
Salt air
Near the coast, salt spray is hard on exposed metal like flashing and fasteners.
