A lot inspectors write this plumbing up as an improper material. They might follow up stating that the ridges make it more prone to clogging.

But it’s fine when properly installed.

The first clue is that it has a label that states it meets plumbing code.

Of course, the label could be wrong.

But when you look inside, you can see the inner wall is smooth. It’s not the same as other corrugated flexible plumbing.

Hope that helps!

These roog flashing boots have their manufacturer date printed on them. And in my experience, they’re usually a good indicator of the roof age. In fact, I’ve never once seen a boot installed on a new roof that was more than a year different than the roof age.

So, if you’re curious about a roofs age, you may be able to use these boots to get a good idea.

The one big challenge is that these boots get replaced usually around halfway through the roofs life. So you still have to take the roofs conditions into consideration. The date stamp isn’t a full proof plan, but it’s a helpful clue.
