Downpour in dry climate

It could be that leaks and associated water problems occur less frequently in a super-dry climate like Park City, where it just snows, but seldom rain, than it is in the Alps or in Southeast Asia, but after the downpours we experienced lately, leakages are likely to... sprout!

This just happened on our brand new roof and kitchen hood vent that managed to act as a water collector, just because its cap design was a bit too much opened to the skies and their pouring showers. At the very least, some extra water managed to bounce inside the pipe and collect below.

After doing some research, I found a much better cap design that should keep me dry for as long as live - at least I hope!
