Hi, my vote is to concentrate on a leak around the "flashing", "boot", "roof jack" - whatever it is called in your area. I have seen one broken pipe - but 99.99% of the time - it is a roofing problem. Hill
: 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
