Bats, flying squirrels, bees, wasps and mice. It’s safe to say that none of these belong in our home. Yet, many homeowners may find themselves face to face with these very same creatures.

This may leave the homeowner perplexed. “How could they have gotten in?” There’s more than one way for sure, but few may consider the vulnerability of plumbing pipes that go through a home’s roof. If the rubber flange around the plumbing pipe begins to deteriorate due to rain or snow, then it may serve as a point of entry for a number of animals.

Therefore, replacing the flange may be required to amend the situation. Below, you can see a flange replacement orchestrated by Balance of Nature. In addition to replacing the rubber flange, a new panel was affixed as well.
