Your roof is important and so are the accessories on it, such as pipe boots. Pipe boots stop water's ability to seep in through vents while allowing your home to breathe. However, there are times when a pipe boot or other roofing essentials are in need of replacement. Leaks are a sure sign that you have a problem. If you’ve been following our previous blog posts, then you’re well aware that there are certain places to look for leaks. Here are more.

Wind Blown Rain Leaks

The winter can wreak havoc on your roof. When it snows and the snow melts, there’s nothing but a watery mess to deal with. If your pipe boots aren’t sealed correctly or the sealants have worn off from years of moisture, you could have wind blown rain leaks causing a major problem for you. If you have metal valleys on your roof, it’s a good idea to hem the edges so that if the wind is whipping, the water won’t have anywhere to go but back to the bottom of the valley and not inside your home.

Non-Roof Leaks

Sometimes your roof isn’t leaking at all! If you’re noticing moisture spots in your home, you may want to check out the type of ventilation that your home is providing for moisture trying to escape. For example, if you have water marks on the roof of your bathroom, you may want to install a vent or a window as a way for condensation to escape.
