If you really can t stand the sight of these pipes sticking out of your house consider a dormant winter plant so that it does not get harmed by the furnace exhaust.

White pipes sticking out of roof.

I noticed this uncovered pipe on my roof today when emptying my swamp cooler. Hi looking up at my roof 3 storey building i can see 4 small white pipes protruding from under the tiling. Pipes on roof tops are not there for structural support. It goes into a pipe in the attic that in pretty sure drains to the plumbing master pipe sump in the basement.

I got the keys to my new house yesterday went round all was well. No matter the type is a pipe boot becomes weathered or damaged a roof leak can occur. This is true whether the roof is sloped or flat but the type of pipe boot depends on the type of roof. It looks like they should be feeding into the guttering but they have shifted and are now leaking directly onto the concrete below just a constant dripping.

Those white plastic pvc pipes jutting out of your roof have little to do with your roof and a lot to do with your home s plumbing system. They re those pipes sticking up out of the roof that run through the attic and through the rest of the house. Pic 1 of basement pic 2 of attic pic 3 of. Without that vent and there s one connected to every drain in your house the water leaving your sinks showers and toilets would slow and hiccup and not have smooth operation.

All residential plumbing fixtures need to be protected by a plumbing vent. Heating and cooling des moines since 1997. Those pipes that are sticking up through your roof surface are there to ventilate the sanitary plumbing system in your home. They allow gasses to vent out of the system and not build up.

Needless to say these pipes should never be altered or adjusted unless done by a trained hvac technician. It looks like the top of the pipe may have previously had a cover based on some decay uneven edges around the pipe. Vents are frequently connected together inside the attic which allows for fewer penetrations in the roof. There are pipe boots installed on plumbing vent pipes that penetrate through roofs.

So you may be wondering if there is some way to get rid of them or make them vanish from the roof.
