24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Spring Hill, FL
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading. The affected area is sealed off from the rest of the house. Porous materials the water reached come out and are bagged, with drywall cut to a margin above the visible line; hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. The space is then dried and read, and the containment comes down only when cleaning and drying are both finished.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the collar fail before the roof does?
Because it is rubber in full sun. A shingle covering is made for twenty or thirty years of that exposure; the rubber sleeve around a vent pipe cracks in ten to fifteen. It is the one part of a sound roof that is reliably past its life while everything around it still has years left.
Where does the water go from a failed collar?
Down the outside of the pipe, which is the worst possible route. The vent runs from the roof down inside a wall or a chase to the plumbing below, so water following it is inside the building envelope from the first foot and can appear on any floor beneath, well away from the roof.
Is replacing one a large job?
No, and that is worth knowing. The flashing is replaced by lifting a few shingles around it, and a collar that has cracked can also be covered with a purpose-made sleeve over the existing one. It is one of the cheapest roof repairs there is, and it is frequently the cause of a leak people assume is much worse.
