Can a missing storm collar cause a roof leak?

When client noticed trouble around the roof vents, the issue looked small but storm collars are a critical line of defense against leaks. During the inspection, team found two roof vents missing storm collars and another large vent with cracking around its base and collar. And when storm collars are missing or cracked, even a tiny gap can invite a much bigger headache.

So we installed compatible storm collars on the two vents, then sealed the seams and vent bases with commercial grade sealant and Lucas 6000. and repaired the cracked collar to help keep water from sneaking beneath the flashing.

This roof repair is a good reminder: small gaps around vent penetrations can turn into interior water damage if ignored. Regular roof inspections and prompt storm collar repairs help keep roof vents watertight and protect the roofing system below. Small cracks and missing components can lead to bigger leaks if ignored. Don't wait for Chicago's next downpour to find out!
