AlexMercadoYce Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 What are some ways to see if a slow leak from an upstairs bathroom is a plumbing problem, or a “too much splashing in the shower” problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Fabry Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Take down the ceiling and watch the plumbing while someone takes a shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithcurtis Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 You can test this easily enough by filling up the tub and letting it get high enough that it drains through the tub overflow drain. While it’s going through that overflow only - you look for leaks. If you find one then you know it’s the overflow connection. If you don’t detect a leak in the overflow then you pull the drain plug and watch for a leak then. If no leak then look for floor compromises.
