A Roof Flashing is not part of the Medium STD-Storm collar package. Medium STD-Storm Collars are fabricated out of EPDM rubber that is exceptionally resistant to heat, ozone and acid rain for a long 20-year lifespan. Rubber Storm collars will not corrode, fail, affect metallurgies and spring back from impacts. Tightening the clamps produce the waterproof umbrella barrier. Insert the pipe into the pre-molded hole and close the clamps. Access to the end of the penetration permitting a slide on installation is mandatory. Medium STD-Storm collar flashings are not retro-fit. Water flow is kept on the roof via a Storm Collar cover atop a new or failing roof jack flashing. Its easy to place a repair cover over broken, sun damaged and decaying existing no-caulk flex flashings. Stopping water flow into a structure is especially important and difficult to stop, as medium conduits or pipes pass through a roof flashing site. STD-Storm collars provide a failsafe dam over a roof flashing opening which, if not closed, affords an avenue for flowing water access and passage into a buildings interior. STD Collars are weatherproof roof flashing umbrella covers. Medium STD-Storm Collars attach onto pipe penetrations including roof vent and electric conduit penetrations. The unit is easily removed if plumbing vent access is required. The internal component will direct rain water into the vent keeping the damaged portion dry and keep animals out of plumbing. Simply cut the unit to match your roof pitch, slide the unit onto the damaged vent and secure with 4 stainless steel screws (provided). A home owner can repair their damaged plumbing vents without having to remove shingles or call a professional.

Critter Quitter offers a cost effective and attractive solution to this problem. A repair that requires shingle removal rarely looks good potentially exposes damage and is expensive.

In the past the only way to repair this was to call a contractor, have them pull shingles, replace the lead and put a screen on the repaired vent. In addition plumbing vents are a major entry point for frogs, rats and other animals to enter into toilets. Over time, these leaks can cause significant damage.

Unfortunately, squirrels like to gnaw on the lead and tear it open, potentially causing roof leaks. In many areas of the United States plumbing vents are sealed with lead.
