One of the most common roof leak areas is around plumbing vent pipes.

In this video, I explain what a bullet boot is, what it does, and why it’s an important part of protecting your roof from water intrusion.

As roofs age, these components can crack, dry rot, and eventually allow water into the home if they aren’t replaced.

Just another day out in the field helping homeowners better understand their roofs.

During this roof inspection, I found an old dry-rotted vent boot that had deteriorated over time and was allowing water into the home.

While inspecting the property, I also performed an insurance-style test square and found multiple hail hits consistent with storm damage. Due to the condition of the roof and hail impacts found during the inspection process, the roof was approved and paid for by insurance.

A lot of homeowners don’t realize older roof components like vent boots can fail over time, especially after severe Texas storms.

If your roof is aging or your area was recently hit by hail or strong winds, now’s a good time to get it checked.

Homeowner reported an active roof leak after shingles blew off during recent storms, so I stopped by to install a temporary emergency tarp repair to help prevent further water intrusion until permanent repairs can be made.

In this video, I show part of the emergency roof repair process using synthetic felt to divert water and temporarily protect the home from additional damage.

If your roof was damaged during recent Texas storms and you notice missing shingles, leaks, or water stains, it’s important to address it quickly before the damage spreads.

This is a real roof inspection showing what the insurance adjuster marked during the adjuster meeting after severe Texas hail storms.

The roof showed 8+ hail hits per test square on multiple slopes, with soft metals also showing clear hail and splash damage. Because of the severity of the damage, the roof was approved by insurance for replacement.

A lot of homeowners don’t realize hail damage can shorten the life of the roof long before leaks show up inside.

If your area was hit by recent storms, now is a good time to schedule a free inspection.
