In Reply to: Leak in bathroom vent posted by John Mack on December 27, 1997 at 09:16:40:
: Apparently after rain enters the bathroom vent that protrudes thru a slanting flat roof during steady,hard "straight-down" like rain,it is running down the interior of the bathroom wall and seeping out at the baseboard.
: We have used flashing cement on the exterior ofthe vent to no avail. How could this vent be leaking water that enters it thru its opening and what is the cure???
: Many thanks John
On a dry day you should run water from a hose in the roof vent. Run water only in the vent not on your roof. This will either prove or disprove that your vent piping is intact. Your vent piping maybe cracked,rotten, or separated.
