Apple Roofing Open Now

Every pipe that sticks out of your roof has a rubber “boot” or collar around it to keep water out. Over time, exposure to the sun and the harsh Nebraska winters causes this rubber to crack and degrade. In the winter, these cracks become pathways for melting snow to enter your attic. Replacing these inexpensive but critical components is a common part of the winter roof repair Kearney services we offer at Apple Roofing.

We often find that these collars last only about 7-10 years, much less than the lifespan of the shingles. A cracked boot can cause a significant leak that ruins drywall and insulation. We inspect every pipe jack on your roof, looking for splits or deterioration.

We replace damaged collars with high-quality, long-lasting alternatives. In some cases, we can install a purely metal flashing or a specialized cover that protects the rubber from UV rays and ice. It is a small repair that prevents a big headache. We pay attention to the details so you don’t have to worry about the drips.
