So during a recent bathroom renovation we had to cut the gas fumes pipe i believe is what its for... that runs out the top of the house.... no water really runs in it but it connects to the main pipes... maybe its for gravity im not for sure...anyways we had to cut it and put in a 45 closer further down so the new tub would fit...so after putting up new drywall and mounting and painting everything... i find that when it rains a small amount of water goes down this pipe and it leaks at a seam where we put a coupler.... the pipe is rather hard to get to from the basement but has a big enough hole i can stick my hand up and feel where it leaks... but no way to get a saw up in there to cut it off.... so i have come up with a few ideas to get around not ripping down all the dry wall... first i was thinking about putting a45 on the pipe coming out the roof to stop rain from going in but it still might... also tried looking for a rain cap of some sort but to be honest id rather do it right.... so i found this flex pipe usually used for pools that i could def feed down the wall from the attic to the basement and then connect the two... i just aint sure that this is an acceptable way to do this... i know its a long shot on here but most are pretty handy so i figured it was worth a try
