Summary

A leaking pipe boot can cause more trouble than most homeowners expect. This project in Raleigh called for quick action after UV exposure and cracked neoprene seals led to leaks and damaged plywood. We needed to address both the source of the leak and the structural roof damage to protect the home.

The Work

Removed damaged shingles and exposed deteriorated OSB plywood around failing pipe boots
Replaced compromised plywood to restore the roof's structural integrity
Installed a Perma Boot kit to protect the vent pipes, reducing future risk of leaks
Ensured new shingles matched the existing roof for a consistent look

The Outcome

With the new Perma Boot system and fresh plywood in place, the roof now has a stronger barrier against moisture. These updates will help the roof last longer and keep the home safe from water intrusion.
