Fairhope Alabama Dryer Roof Jack Installation

Completed removal of an improperly installed roof jack that had been positioned too close to the existing vent pipe, creating a vulnerable penetration point and resulting in active water intrusion. Inspection confirmed moisture damage and deterioration of the surrounding roof decking due to improper spacing and inadequate sealing.

Damaged plywood was removed and replaced with new roof sheathing to restore structural integrity. The repaired area was properly sealed using StormGuard ice and water barrier to create a watertight seal, followed by proper shingle integration to ensure long-term protection against future leaks.

A new, code-compliant dryer vent roof jack was installed at an appropriate distance from the existing penetration to meet proper clearance and drainage requirements. The new termination point allows for improved airflow and eliminates the risk of water intrusion caused by the previous installation.

The dryer vent system was rerouted within the attic to align with the new roof jack location. A Dryer-Ell was installed to optimize the transition and reduce airflow restriction, minimizing equivalent duct length and improving overall system performance. All connections were properly secured and sealed to prevent air leakage and lint escape.

Post-installation performance indicates a significant improvement in dryer efficiency and exhaust flow. The system is now operating as intended, with reduced back pressure and improved airflow. The roof system is fully restored, sealed, and protected from further moisture intrusion.

Overall, the system is now code-compliant, structurally sound, and optimized for both safety and performance. This correction not only resolves the leak but also enhances dryer efficiency, reduces fire risk, and ensures long-term reliability of the venting system.
