Another roof inspection, analysis, and estimate by www.HomeRestorationsMD.com. The property in this video with leaky pipe collars is in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. When our buyers complain about a roof leak inside the back of the house or near a bathroom, the initial thing we suspect is a leaking pipe collar, occasionally called a plumbing vent collar. Pipe collars, ordinarily a neoprene boot with either an aluminum or plastic base, want periodic inspection and maintenance. The boot dries out with age, commonly after about six to seven years, and should be either resealed with Geocel Tripolymer Sealant or replaced altogether. When the cracks become large, like the ones in this video, pipe collars must be replaced to avoid interior damage to the home. Simply because of the way the pipe boots are situated, cracks can occur that may possibly be directly inside the path of water flow, causing damaging water to “funnel” into the home. Replacing pipe collars can be a dangerous and tricky task. Removing a plumbing vent collar means removing choose shingles — shingles that could be brittle from age and crack further during repair, frequently requiring the services of a roofing expert or certified professional.
