Roof pipe boots seal the plumbing vent pipes that penetrate your roof. These small components are one of the most common sources of roof leaks.

What Is a Pipe Boot?

A pipe boot is a flashing designed to seal around plumbing vent pipes.

It prevents rainwater from entering the home through pipe penetrations.

Why Pipe Boots Fail

Traditional pipe boots are made from rubber, which deteriorates due to:

• UV exposure

• Heat

• Weather aging

Over time, the rubber cracks and allows water to enter the roof.

Signs of Pipe Boot Failure

• Leaks near bathrooms

• Ceiling stains near vents

• Cracked rubber around pipes

Why Upgraded Boots Matter

Modern upgraded pipe boots are made from UV-resistant materials designed to last decades.
