TOPIC: I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question

Vent pipes

Return to I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question

Return to Forum

I had a standing seam metal roof installed and I have had seven leaks so far. I was told the vent pipes are to far down on the roof. Last year my vent pipes got ripped right off from the snow sliding down the. I was wondering if there is anything in writing that states where the vent pipes should be for the correct roofing process. I plan on taking the contractor to small claim court and I just need some back up.

By "too low" do you mean they are too short or they are too close to the bottom edge of the roof? As far as the latter, they pretty much need to come up straight from were they originate -- there really isn't adjustment in that that is within the roofing skill trade. Todd Miller
