vent issue – update


Hi all,

Many of you gave me some good tech advice on an issue I am having re: a leak in a vent pipe on my roof. I finally went up there; I had remembered that the pipe was “recessed” (that was the drain pipe, duh….). The pic posted is the vent pipe. My idea of putting a “hat” on it was good, but it already has a hat.

So, my issue is more unclear. Why the hell is there slight leakage into two top floors???

I looked at the pipe and can’t find any cracks on the outside….

What to do???

Vent Pipe


SO, this is weird, but I have this old vent pipe that runs up to the roof. I have no idea what it’s for. My issue is that there must be some sort of crack in the pipe somewhere, which is causing a small amount of water to run down my bedroom wall.

I thought about having someone weld some sort of “hat” on it to let it vent, but keep the water out, but from what I remember, it is recessed into the roof..

Anyone else have similar issue??
