Afternoon all, I noticed a mouldy patch within my ensuite ceiling, and assumed the tiles roof above was leaking. However after going into the loft space directly above the ensuite I noticed the large SVP pipe running horizontally across the inside of the attic entering the corner of the loft where the leak is below. This pipe then turns by 90 degrees and goes out thought the roof. I notice however that as it connects to the vent inside the attic it is just propped in place as the pipe goes from say 150mm to 100mm and does connect properly and the previous occupant of the house has jammed the pipe in place without connecting it to the base of the vent due to the varying diameters. I placed a tray under the elbow thinking that the leak was via the poor connection. I have looked at the vent cover from outside the house and it's look ok. I attach some images and would be grateful for any advice on why the tray I have installed is collecting water. Is it due to the SVP being too horizontal, and not draing the water away that has got into the pipe. Also there doesn't appear to be a hole in the bend of the pope either. Advise would be appreciated. Thanks
