Possible leak from power vent in bathroom

Hello,

I have discovered twice water on the floor under the power vent in the bathroom. I have checked the inside of the vent and opened and closed it making sure it was closed and more water appeared.

I opened this vent for the 1st time last week.

Can I diagnose and repair from the inside? I'm disabled and ladders are off limits for me. I'm suspecting The repair must be done topside on the roof.

Thanks!

Dave

  • Could be the seal between the lid and the frame. It is either vinyl or rubber. It could be crushed out of shape, worn or missing.

    Vent seal
  • Leaking vents are usually due to caulking failure or broken lid. A broken lid should be visible from inside. Caulking problems will not.
