Is My Storm Collar Causing a Roof Leak, and Does It Need to Be Resealed?

A storm collar also knows as "Pipe Ring or Rain Collar" might be one of the tiniest details on any roof, yet a failed one can lead to leaks with outsized consequences. That's why, on a recent job, Anchor Point Roofing — Chicago's #1 roofing company and the Best of the Best — restored a client's storm collars with a fresh application of Lucas 6000 coating (Fast drying solvent based roof coating). Here's how the project came together.

Storm collars deflect water away from vent pipes and flue penetrations. Over time, UV exposure and Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles cause the sealant around them to crack and separate, allowing water to slip past the collar and into the roof system — often unnoticed until damage appears inside the building.
The Anchor Point Roofing crew cleaned and prepped the storm collars as needed, removing dirt, debris, and failing material so the coating could bond to a sound surface.

One full coat of Lucas 6000 was applied around the storm collars — a premium, professional-grade sealant known for exceptional adhesion, flexibility, and long-term weather resistance.

Every bit of debris was removed when the job was done — the Anchor Point standard on every project.
