Water is Dripping off My Stove Pipe

[Simonkenton]

Merry Christmas. I built this addition two years ago. I hired out the stove installation because I didn't want to get up on a metal roof with a 12:12 pitch.

I checked out the install guy thoroughly, it is a local family owned business that has been operating for 30 years and has a good rep. The installer is the 35 year old son of the company owner, he has been doing this since he was 12 years old.

On top, on the outside of the stove pipe, he installed a flexible plastic/rubber boot that is about 2 feet square. It fits around the pipe and it lays flat on the roof, on top of the metal. It has glue on the bottom of it.
As it is flexible it conforms to the ridges of the roof.
He said this is what he has been using on metal roofs for years and it works great.

Well it was installed 2 years ago and it did work great. This morning I saw water dripping off of the black metal box that goes up through the roof. It is raining hard today.

I was getting about one drip every ten seconds, landing on my beautiful hand made stone hearth.

We had a snowstorm ten days ago. Heavy wet snow with no wind, the snow lay 7 inches deep on the roof, and stayed there for 2 or 3 days.
During the day, 35 degrees, at night, 28 degrees.

I think this leak is related to the snow.

I love that Jotul 500 and so does the fiancee and it it the centerpiece of our new room, and here I got a leak at Christmas. It makes me feel sick.

Help.

Sorry to hear about the leak. Do you have a metal bucket?

Bummer. It's small and fuzzy, but that looks more like a metal flashing in the picture. Looks can be deceiving though. Can you post a closer picture of the flashing?

Did you call the installer? Stuff happens no matter how good of carefull you are things will go wrong from time to time. It is all on how the company responds.

I'm thinking that to, since the guy is going up there ask if he can also place a bead of clear silicone down the seam of the class a pipe to.
