Again they came back and caulked all around the vent. I have been in the attic and could see the water coming down the outside of the vent pipe. Most recently, when the temps were in the teens, I got a lot of water in the microwave. I had used the unit for less than 10 minutes and at least 2 cups of water poured out of the openings on the top inside of the microwave. The only thing that changed other than the type of roofing is that they extended the vent about 2' above the roof, where it was flush with the roof before. I am now wondering if this is a condensation problem rather than a leak. Nothing was melting from the outside the last time, as it was too cold. We have had this microwave for several years with no problems. Should the vent piping in the attic be insulated?

We put a metal roof on our home 2+ years ago and every winter we go through the same frustrating problem with water leaking down the vent and dripping from the cupboards onto the counter when the snow starts to melt. Now it is coming through the microwave. This is so gross to me and I'm wondering what kind of damage may be going on that we can't see, do you know? Also, is it still safe to use the microwave?
