What Is a Soil Pipe Flashing?
Your roof is designed to protect your home from the elements, but certain areas—like soil pipe vents—are more vulnerable to leaks. These pipes are essential for your plumbing system, allowing sewer gases to escape safely. Without proper flashing, however, water can seep into your home, leading to costly damage.
Soil pipe flashing is the material that seals around these vent pipes, preventing leaks. Most standard installations use a basic rubber boot, but over time, UV exposure, extreme weather, and general wear and tear can cause these boots to crack and deteriorate.
Why Does It Matter?
When soil pipe flashing fails, it creates an entry point for water—leading to roof leaks, mold growth, and expensive repairs. A compromised flashing system can go unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred.
