Leak Around Roof Pipe on Commercial Building in Chicago

Leaks around roof pipes—often called waste stacks—are a common issue on commercial buildings in Chicago. These leaks typically occur when the pipe boot has deteriorated over time, was improperly installed, or is completely missing. Without a proper seal, water can seep through the small openings where the pipe meets the roofing system, eventually leading to costly interior damage, mold growth, and compromised structural integrity.

A high-performing commercial roof needs proper flashing and waterproofing at all penetration points—including waste stacks. That’s why Anchor Point Roofing takes extra care when addressing this kind of issue. Our commercial roofing team begins by prepping the area around the pipe to ensure a clean, solid surface. We then install new synthetic felt for added moisture protection, followed by a durable lead boot that wraps securely around the pipe to create a watertight seal. Finally, we install new shingles to blend with the existing roof as closely as possible.

Our commitment to quality and detail ensures long-term performance and protection for your commercial property. Whether you're dealing with an active leak or looking for preventative maintenance, Anchor Point Roofing is here to help with trusted commercial roof repairs throughout Chicago.
