water in inside of my pipe dripping out from inside pipe

[williamjshaver]

Have a problem, it seems water is dripping out of my chimney pipe in my kitchen attached to my floyd-wells cookstove, stack has a chimney cover on it, it happens when it rains, i pulled the pipe at the stove, no trail left in pipe, happens even when stack is warm, 200-300 deg, even pulled the outside clean out when stove is fired, no traces of any water running down the stack, chimney has been in since 2005, am in a quandy, is it lack of sealant where inside pipes attach, all pipes are double insulated stainless.

Sounds like your pipe may be installed upside down, male end should always face stove if possible, any water or molten creosote should flow into stove

[williamjshaver]

it is installed with male end to the stove

[Rob R.]

Sounds like you have a leak around the flashing collar.

Could you show a picture?

no its inside the pipe, the calking is all new

[Richard S.]

Is the pipe going out of the roof or attached to the house? A leak in the roof can be far away from where it's leaking too. e.g. You have leak above the pipe and it's leaking down the roof paper and gets to the pipe underneath the caulking. Since you have male end to the stove it could leak down the pipe until it gets to joint and then it's going into the pipe.

Just suggestion but when you have weird issue like this it's usually a weird cause.

all caluking is good

piping off stove goes out thru wall, then to the T, going straight up outside, clean out at bottom, no water at bottom of cleanout.

There should not be a seam in the wall. That leaves condensation. Adding wet coal?

Might have to wait until fire is out, take stove pipe off inside house and watch and feel during a rain. Might be able to duplicate rain with a garden hose, or not.

Perhaps a seam (vertical or a connection) on the stainless chimney is leaking, running down and following along into the inside of the stove pipe somehow. Just another guess. Has to be frustrating as heck.

[williamjshaver]

yeah tried that with garden hose, no water inside.... no seems where thimble goes thru wall... yes it's really got my dander up... no pipe has been taken apart, thing about using some high tem sealant where pipes come togeather on thimble... seal it there as its where leak is...
