Leaky Roof in Chicago? Could Be a Damaged Lead Boot

A damaged lead boot around your waste stack can lead to significant water damage to your home. This crucial component, often overlooked, is designed to seal the gap between your roof and the plumbing vent pipe. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause the lead boot to crack, deteriorate, or pull away from the roof, creating a pathway for water to seep into your home.

If you notice water stains on your ceiling or walls, particularly near the plumbing vent, a damaged lead boot may be the culprit. At Anchor Point Roofing in Chicago, our experienced roofers will carefully remove and save the shingles surrounding the damaged boot. We then remove the old, compromised boot and prepare the area with a high-quality ice and water shield. A new, durable lead boot is installed, ensuring a watertight seal. Finally, we meticulously reinstall the saved shingles, restoring your roof to its original appearance.
