Your roof is the key to keeping your home dry all year long. One of the biggest threats to your home is water damage. Once moisture makes its way into the structure, it can lead to serious health issues from mold and mildew. A roof vent boot and roof flashing are critical pieces that can help prevent these issues from arising in the first place. The Kozy Kollar is one of the most accessible roof flashing installations available on the market. Nearly universal, here’s how easy and safe it is to install.
What is a Roof Vent Boot?
First off, let’s start with the basics. What is a roof vent boot? Well, they play an essential role in preventing unwanted water from making its way into your home. Most homes have pipes that link your plumbing system from the roof. These pipes serve as an air vent so the wastewater can make its way to the sewer system outside of your home. But, to keep your home dry, a roof vent boot is the key. Also known as a vent pipe cover, this device is designed to prevent air and water from leaking into the house where the pipe connects with the roof.
Repairs Happen.
Like many other things in life, the roof vent boot needs to be repaired over time. On average, they can last about ten years. With constant exposure to the weather and elements, that’s a good deal! Thus, wind, small animals, rain, and snow can cause it to wear out over time. This is when you may start to notice issues.
Warning Signs
There are some signs that your roof vent boot is starting to weaken. For example, you might have peeling wallpaper, peeling paint, or watermarks on the inside of your ceiling. Outside, the shingles around the vent pipe could be popping up or tearing. Either way, it’s time for a replacement.
