Most modern roofs will leak in the first 7-10 years of service causing hundreds of millions of dollars in property repairs annually.
While shingles are designed for a 20-50 year life, the roofing system is dependent on a small pipe boot at each roof penetration to keep out rain and weather. The pipe boots offer no warranty and with near certainty will become a failure point in the first years after installation, sending water running down into the living area of the structure. This is a common problem and causes unnecessary loss and destruction every day in the United States.
"As an insurance repair specialist, we respond to many roof leaks to find that all too often the problem is a deteriorated roof boot. The current fix requires a roofing contractor to replace the boot as well as the shingles around it. With the introduction of the Perma-Boot, this repair can be done by the General Contractor or Homeowner on site and does not require shingle replacement. Saves time, Saves money!" stated Lawrence Jones, Turn Key Restoration, Fuquay-Varina, NC.
Manning Building Products' goal is to correct this flaw in modern roofing systems. Their Perma-Boot(TM) 312 offers a cost-effective and dependable repair solution that installs in minutes with no need to remove shingles or the failing boot.
