Summary

Cracked pipe boots and improper venting can turn a solid roof into a source of hidden leaks. On this project, we focused on replacing worn neoprene pipe boots and adding a dedicated goose neck vent to improve ventilation and protect the interior from water damage.

The Work

Replaced deteriorating neoprene pipe boots with a Perma Boot kit for added durability
Installed a goose neck vent with galvanized steel, animal guard screen, and sealed flashing for proper airflow
Ensured all seams were sealed and the rooftop finish was clean and blended
Checked the system to prevent future leaks and meet ventilation code requirements

The Outcome

The upgraded pipe boots now guard against UV damage and cracking, while the new vent allows exhaust to exit safely without risking backdraft or moisture buildup. The roof is now better prepared to handle the elements and avoid common leak issues.
