Roof Vent Replacement

 There are several types of exhaust vents for your roof, and we normally see box vents, which are quite common due to their low cost. They normally should last from 10 - 20 years, but they can be subject to damage, rust, or poor installation, and may need replacement sooner.

A furnace vent on a roof is a vent pipe that is attached to the furnace and run vertically up through the roof. This allows hot combustion exhaust fumes to rise and exit through the roof on their own, in a natural manner.

Plumbing vent pipes supply fresh air to each plumbing fixture, in the house, which help the system move water through the drainage pipes each time a toilet is flushed, or a sink is drained. The plumbing vent help regulate the air pressure in your plumbing system. 

Just as drainpipes remove water and waste from your home, the plumbing pipe (plumbing air vent) prevents sewer gasses from entering the home and allows wastewater gasses and odors to escape through the plumbing vent stack on the roof of your home.

We provide replacement of roof vents for attic circulation, furnace, bathroom, toilet, kitchen, and dryer vent.

Soffit Repairs

Soffits are designed so your roof can breathe.   It typically features small holes which provide regular air circulation to your attic, thereby drawing moisture and heat away.  This is extremely vital as moisture in the attic can lead to rotting in the rafters.  If soffit panels have been damage or fallen off, they should be replaced immediately to avoid any further damage and prevent vermin, squirrels, or birds nesting in the area.   Please contact us as we provide soffit installation and repair services.

Leaky Skylight

Discovering that your skylight is leaking increases with age.  Rain can come through a crack in the glass itself, or more likely in around the edges of the skylight caused from warping of materials over time. Common causes of leaking skylights are built up of moss and debris around seals of the skylight, flashing that has become worn out, weather seals that have aged and peeled due to exposure to the weather elements.  We can inspect your skylights to determine cause of leak and provide repairs.   

Bird and Pest Prevention

Birds in the soffit is a very common problem and once the birds have successfully nested in your home last season, they will return again the following year.  In addition, holes and cracks found around the exterior structure of your home or in the soffit area, allow birds, vermin, squirrels, and bats, access into your attic causing even more problems. Even a dime-sized hole can be big enough for a mouse or small bird to squeeze into.  These wild animals can wreak havoc in your attic and can spread disease and parasites.

We can repair and provide preventative measure to reinforce any common problem exterior structure areas on your home for bird prevention or set up traps to remove squirrels humanely from your home. 

Another problem area in your home is your roof, there could be gaps, vents, cracks, and holes that small animals can enter your attic.  A roof that accumulates waters also invites, rats, squirrels, raccoons, and any other pest to thrive.  Important to inspect your roof for any crack, damages, concrete tile movements from harsh weather conditions that might have made any holes.  Regularly clean your gutter system, roof scuppers, and unclog any downspouts.  Make sure to check your exterior vents and fascia as well, as these are often used for small animals to enter your attic. 

If there are any overhang of long tree branches that can be used by animals to gain access into your home.  It might be best to trim the branches as a preventative measure.  Very important to protect yourself against intrusions and keep wild animals out by repairing any exterior problem in your home and to avoid any costly damages and health risks to your family.
