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. Edit: grab a house key or a screwdriver, stick into the wood. Does it penetrate really easy? Then you’re fucked. Else you’re fine, as long as the leak isn’t active.
