When someone is taking a shower in an upstairs bathroom in your home, do you notice water dripping downstairs?
If not that serious, maybe you’re finding signs of water intrusion such as discoloration of the downstairs ceiling or walls. When you see issues like this arising, you should deal with them immediately since wood rot, mold and other water-related issues could arise, or already exist.
It might be tricky to track down exactly where the source of the leak is, but here are a few common locations that can be examined:
- Cracks between your tub and the wall
- Deteriorated drain gasket
- Loose pipes
- Clogged pipes
- Broken tiles
Some showers and tubs are poorly installed, and it won’t take a lot for them to start leaking water into the walls and floor of your bathroom. By the time you notice it downstairs, the problem could already be quite serious, so checking the items on the above list periodically can help to prevent the issue altogether.
