Pipe boots and vent collars
Rubber seals crack in Texas sun and can leak in every rain.
Mission Bend grew along Highway 6 in the 1980s. Many homes here have had at least one roof replacement, and some are due for another. When a roof is older, small leaks can grow fast if the source is not found.
Mission Bend sits along Highway 6 and crosses into both Fort Bend and Harris counties. Most streets are full of single-family homes with simple gable or hip roofs. Simple roofs are easier to check, but worn parts still leak.
On older roofs, the first parts to fail are often the small ones: rubber pipe boots, vent collars and the metal drip edge at the roof line. These parts cost little but can let in a lot of water over time.
