Roof Vent & Bonnet Proofing

Protect Vulnerable Roof Vents Without Blocking Airflow.

Damaged screens and unprotected roof vents can become entry points. The goal is to secure the opening while keeping the vent able to do its job.

What we look for

Roof Vent / Bonnet Proofing

The inspection is about connecting what you are hearing or seeing inside with the openings that may exist outside.

The repair depends on the vent and roof system. We use screening and fastening methods appropriate for that opening.

Roof and bonnet vents

Damaged or missing screens

Unprotected ventilation openings

Custom rodent-resistant screening

Where this fits

A service should make sense in the whole rodent-proofing plan.

The work changes by home, but the order is consistent: understand the activity, address the access and handle what remains.

Check the vent

Look for damaged screens, open bonnets and gaps around the vent assembly.

Keep airflow

Proofing should resist rodents without sealing off ventilation the home still needs.

Inspect nearby transitions

Vents are checked with the surrounding roofline because access may involve more than one opening.

Questions

About Roof Vent / Bonnet Proofing

The exact work depends on the home, the entry points and the areas we can safely access.

What is rodent proofing?+

Rodent proofing means finding the openings rats and mice use to enter a home and sealing them with durable, rodent-resistant materials.

What is rodent exclusion?+

Rodent exclusion is another name for sealing a home against rats and mice. We generally use the term rodent proofing because it is easier for homeowners to understand.

What kinds of openings do you seal?+

Common areas include roofline gaps, coves, vents, garage door corners, utility penetrations and gaps around foundations, stucco or siding. The exact scope depends on the inspection.

How small of an opening matters?+

Mice can use very small gaps, so we pay close attention to openings around one-quarter inch and larger. The repair still depends on where the opening is and how that part of the home is supposed to function.

Do you proof tile roofs?+

Yes, when the problem area can be safely accessed. Tile roof transitions, coves, vents and roof-to-wall areas can all require close inspection.

Can rats enter through roof vents?+

Yes. Damaged screens and unprotected vent openings can become entry points. The repair should make the opening rodent-resistant without preventing the vent from doing its job.
