Perma-Boot

Rubber boots around plumbing vent pipes can rapidly deteriorate when exposed to the sun and high temperatures. This may lead to the boots cracking, leaving a gap where water can enter the house. When this happens, significant damage can occur to your home over time. Prevent this catastrophe from happening with the Perma-Boot. We offer a fast and permanent solution so you can worry less about fixing your leaky roof. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so when I got these great photos from Dale Van Aken of New Hope, Pennsylvania I had to hear the whole story.

The plumbing vent pipes that stick out of your roof are often sealed with a rubber pipe boot to keep rain from entering your home. These rubber boots deteriorate when exposed to the sun and high temperatures on the roof causing them to crack and leave a gap where water can enter the house. While your roof shingles might last as much as 30 years, these rubber boots usually deteriorate in as little as 3 to 5 years. Once that happens, water begins to flow into your attic and cause water damage to your ceilings, interior walls, and drywall.
