I had the furnace replaced three years ago. This winter I noticed water leaking from one of the pvc pipe joints in the exhaust pipe. I hung a bucket under the pipe to see how much water was leaking. I would guess that in a month's time in a MN winter, probably 2 quarts leaked.
What would be the best way to seal this joint? The joint is part of several elbows - the pipe changes directions in this section. I would like to just seal up the joint instead of cutting this whole section out and redoing it.
Would putting silicon caulk around the joint be sufficient? I was going to wait until summer when the furnace isn't working to make sure it's all dry in that joint.
