Hi,
Recently, I found that a vertical pipe (~4 ") is leaking water in the attic (see photo). I took out some wet insulation, and believe it is the joint that is leaking. Because this is a vertical vent pipe penetrate through the roof, there is a rubber roof to seal the roof penetration. If I cut the pipe and replace the joint, I am afraid it may damage the pipe sealing at the roof becuase the pipe is being moving/vibrate during the cutting. What options do I have?
The leak rate is slow drips of water when it rain. I will check again the next time it rains.
What are my opinion to repair the leak?
