    My setup was installed in 2013. Chimney is triple wall Duravent. Stove pipe is double wall from same mfg. I purchased the entire package from the cap to the stove at the same time making sure that nothing is mixed or mismatched.
    All has been fine until lase season when I noticed water drops coming from the support box. Obviously, I have a leak somewhere. I have been on the roof, checked all on the sealed areas, looked for cracked or loose shingles etc. Even had a neighbor up there while a sprayed water everywhere but can't find the leak.
    Any time it rains more than a little, I'm getting the dripping from the support box.
    Got any ideas? Im about to call a professional roofer out but thought someone out there might have had a similar problem DSCF3787.JPG DSCF3780.JPG DSCF3780.JPG .

    Did you check the seal on the storm collar? Rain would have to drive in the right direction if the seal has a small crack.

    Am I seeing fresh caulk/silicone in the pics?

    I'll have the seal on the storm collar checked. I don't go up on the roof myself anymore. Those days are behind me.
