Can melting snow cause a leak that would not otherwise happen?
Have had the first heavy snow winter here in Maryland since we purchased our new 28' AS new in 2009. Found evidence of a leak(immediately after a recent melt that is a brand new problem) at a the overlapping metal interior skin near the stove/counter top area which is next to the refrigerator. The seal on the range hood exhaust fan outlet looked good; but, I recaulked anyway. Had a nice shower last night and no evidence of any leak this morning.
I know my skylight and a/c shroud cover are good(replaced both last season). I am suspicious of the refrigerator vent/exhaust; but, would think water going down the open exhaust would end up in the exterior compartment behind the refrigerator(which it did not).
Can snow be the culprit or do I need to simply start stripping and recaulking roof penetrations in the areas above the discovered leak? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
