Vent pipe boot replacement is a small job that stops a lot of ceiling stains. Every plumbing vent that comes through the roof has a boot around it: a flat flashing plate under the shingles with a rubber collar that hugs the pipe. On most roofs those collars are neoprene or EPDM, and UV cracks them long before the shingles wear out. A cracked collar lets water run down the outside of the pipe and into the ceiling below.

Our crew slides out the old boot, checks the decking around the hole for rot, and installs a new one. On asphalt roofs we often use lead boots, which fold over the top of the pipe and outlast rubber, or silicone collars rated for high UV. Metal flues from furnaces and water heaters get a high-temperature boot and a storm collar, not the plumbing type.

A leak near an interior wall, a bathroom or a kitchen, well away from any chimney, is often a vent boot. On homes in warm states with no masonry chimney at all, vent boots and skylight flashing repair are most of our leak calls.

If the roof is older and one boot has failed, we check every penetration while we are up there. Call (833) 583-1301 to book a boot replacement.

How a chimney leak job goes

Four steps to chimney flashing repair in Dallas, TX

01

Call and describe the leak

Tell us where the water shows up and when. A stain that only appears in wind-driven rain points somewhere different than water in the firebox.

02

We find the entry point

Our crew checks the crown, the brick face and the step and counter flashing, because a leak at the chimney is not always a flashing problem.

03

You get a plain written scope

We tell you what failed, what we plan to replace and what it costs before any shingle comes off.

04

We fix it with metal, not caulk

New step flashing under each shingle course and counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint. Photos before and after.

Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs

Questions about chimney flashing repair

Questions we hear about Vent Pipe Boot Replacement in Dallas, TX.

Call (833) 583-1301
How do I know if my chimney leak is flashing or something else?
Look at when it leaks. A stain that shows up during wind-driven rain from one direction often points to the flashing on that side. Water that shows up in the firebox or on the damper usually comes from the top, through an open flue or a cracked crown. Damp brick inside the attic after a long soaking rain points to porous masonry. Our crew checks all three before recommending chimney flashing repair.
What is the difference between step flashing and counter flashing?
Step flashing is the set of small L-shaped pieces tucked under each shingle course along the side of the chimney. Counter flashing is the metal set into the brick that laps down over the step flashing. The two work as a pair. One without the other leaks.
What metal do you use for chimney flashing?
On most asphalt shingle roofs we use aluminum or galvanized steel. On slate, cedar or historic homes we use copper, which lasts as long as the roof. We avoid pairing copper with galvanized steel or aluminum on the same detail because the two corrode each other.
My house has no chimney. Can you still help with a roof leak?
Yes. Much of our work is wall flashing, skylight flashing, vent pipe boots and valley flashing, which use the same methods as a chimney. On homes without masonry chimneys, those are where most leaks start.
Why does my chimney leak only in heavy storms?
Light rain runs off. Heavy, wind-driven rain gets pushed sideways into loose counter flashing, through open mortar joints and into an uncapped flue. If your leak only shows up in big storms, the flashing and the brick face are the first things we check.
