Scottpat Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Cracked boots? Somebody put a new roof on and did not bother changing them out or redoing the flashing on the vent or flue.
Bain Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 No, Scott. They roofed over the flashings. The neoprene boots and other flashings can't be replaced without removing shingles.
Erby Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Obvously, the persons who did this roof are that stupid!
Phillip Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Who ever did that roof has some kinsfolk down here that does the same type of roofing.
Chad Fabry Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 John, Are those shingles significantly over exposed as well?

Terence McCann Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Why the cap over the plumbing vent?
Bain Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 In theory, it keeps debris--leaves, mainly--from blocking the vents. The caps are probably superfluous. But then again, they only cost a couple of bucks.
Inspectorjoe Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Around here, in frigid weather, a cap like that would cause the water vapor to condense and freeze, maybe even enough to block it.
