Vent seals on newer roofs
Plastic and rubber vent parts can crack within a few summers.
Four Corners is a growing community in northeast Fort Bend County, just south of Mission Bend and west of Highway 6. It began as a small rural area and now has many newer subdivisions. That mix means roof problems vary from home to home.
The community grew up around the crossing of Boss Gaston, Old Richmond and Richmond Gaines roads. Older small frame homes sit near newer subdivisions built in the 2000s and 2010s.
Newer roofs here are often leaking because of a small install detail, like vent seals or flashing at walls. Older homes may have worn shingles, sagging decking or roofs that have been patched many times.
