How To Replace a Pipe Boot On A Metal Roof.

This is a common area of any roof where the majority of leaks come from, so its always good to know how to repair it when necessary. 
I first advise that if you are not comfortable on a roof or if the pitch of the roof ( the steepness) is to great you might want to hire a professional. that being said this job can be done by most anyone with the proper tools, patience, and a dry day. 

Step 1 Assessing The Job And Planning For What You Will Need

This is pretty straight forward, before you start removing preexisting boots and caulking, make sure you have the tool and materials necesarry to finish in one day. this is a pipe for the dryer so it does get hot but a heat grade boot is not needed for this pipe it does not get hot enough so no need to spend the extra money.

Hello , I had success with "repairing an bitumen roof" at a garage. The roof-water gets down inside the roof , with an PVC pipe. There was a great water-diffusion a damage. Bad in winter, when ice opens the whole. And difficult to find the way of penetration. So I used a trick. I did let white - wood - adhesiv come down with the water from the roof. So I changed the surface of the roof concrete kapillars. They changed from hydrophil to hydrophob. But the waterresitance of a dispersion is not good enough for a roof. So I mended "the rest" with liquid bitumen. Theory : the plastiziser part in bitumen diffused into the dispersion polymer and changes it to a plastisol. I have build a in situ polymer bitumen. This compound is directly build "on the job", it founds the damaged holes by itselve, where the water came in. It works, is perfect, no more upfreesing concrete roof in winter. And excuse my unexperienced description.
