Scottpat Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 No, Scott. They roofed over the flashings. The neoprene boots and other flashings can't be replaced without removing shingles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence McCann Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Why the cap over the plumbing vent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspectorjoe Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
