Pipe boots crack from UV and the constant expansion in our humid subtropical summers. In homes built before 2005 around Grand Central Park, the original EPDM boots often split at the base after ten years. We pull the old boot, clean the deck to bare wood, and set a new 60-mil EPDM boot with butyl tape and stainless screws. Montgomery County requires a permit for any roof penetration work that touches the deck.
Vents leak when the flashing was never counter-flashed or when cheap contractors used only silicone that peels in the first mild winter. We see this most on houses near Conroe Lake where wind-driven rain pushes water under the vent collar. The fix is to cut back the shingles, install new step flashing, then set a pre-formed aluminum vent boot sealed with polyurethane caulk rated for 300-degree heat.
Access on two-story homes in Conroe Town Green adds time because we have to set up staging instead of just a ladder. We never reuse old fasteners or skip the ice-and-water shield patch under the boot. That extra step keeps the repair from turning into a deck replacement six months later when humidity gets inside the sheathing.
Call us at 1030 Outpost Dr any time. We answer 24/7 for active leaks and book most pipe boot jobs the same day in April Sound or Heritage Museum area.
