Leaking Around Pipe on Morton Grove Roof? Could Be a Damaged Boot.

If you've noticed water stains on your ceilings or walls near plumbing vents in your Morton Grove home, the culprit could be a damaged boot around the waste stack on your shingle roof. The boot, often made of lead, is a crucial component that creates a watertight seal where pipes penetrate your roof. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause these lead boots to corrode, loosen their seal, or become damaged, leading to leaks.

At Anchor Point Roofing, we understand the importance of a properly sealed roof. If you suspect a damaged boot is causing leaks on your Morton Grove shingle roof, our experienced team will thoroughly assess the area. Our repair process involves carefully removing the existing damaged lead boot. We will then prep the area by installing new Ice and Water shield or synthetic felt as needed around the pipe penetration to provide an extra layer of protection against water intrusion. Next, we will install a new, durable lead boot that will provide a long-lasting seal. Finally, we will provide and install new shingles around the base of the boot, ensuring they match your existing roof as closely as possible for a seamless repair. Anchor Point Roofing is your trusted partner for reliable roof repair in Morton Grove and surrounding areas, including Chicago. Don't let a damaged lead boot cause further water damage – contact us today for a comprehensive inspection and professional repair services.
