Renovating the bathroom and found these dark patches in the joists and roof lumber surrounding the old vent pipe. The PVC part is new.
Anything bad here? Anything we need to address?

They probably fucked up the flashing. Roofers and siders fuck up all the time. If it’s truly an old leak that’s been fixed, you have nothing to worry about. Go up there and observe during the next strong rain.
I mean I could just spray a hose up there, couldn’t I?
Yes, but it’d help if someone else observed and recorded to really nail down what’s happening.
I had water penetrating the house after the siders fucked up. Took opening the ceiling and recording the penetration to really understand what the idiots did wrong.
