    I have a small leak where water is getting in through the roof where the furnace exhaust pipe comes out of the roof. It is not a signifcant amount of water. It's more of a drip but still, if this happens every time it rains it does cause a little bit of concern. Have any of you dealt with this? If so, did you use RWC? Or did you do something else? Thank you in advance for the info.

    Most likely it's because of improper fastening procedures of the roof shingles around the stack pipe and/or hairline fractures to the stem and flange around the pipe. This type of leak can occur immediately after the initial roof installation or sometimes 10 years later.
