“A leaking bathroom drain can sometimes be hard to notice, since the damage is usually hidden. Serious instances may lead to structural damage to your floor, plastering/ paint, or the shower ceiling in the other room below your shower. Fortunately, however, most shower repairs are relatively easy and won’t require any major plumbing issues.
If you have a leaking bathroom drain, chances are it’s just a matter of calling a qualified and experienced bathroom surgeon. Not only does he have the tools and experience needed for the repairs, but most offer long years experience in this field. In addition, most offer a guarantee/warrantee on their workmanship and quality of workmanship. Some even offer a free initial consultation and will come out to assess your situation and do an estimate for repairs. These are invaluable when it comes to selecting a bathroom specialist who will use the best materials, and who has many years experience in this field.
If your leaking bathtub, shower, or vanity sink tile is located above the ceiling, the first thing to look at is whether the tile meets building code. Generally speaking, if it doesn’t meet local building code, it’s time to find a new roof to put over it. Of course, if you have the proper tools, this shouldn’t be a problem, and your bathroom surgeon should be able to assist you with any necessary modifications. If your leaking bathtub, floor, or vanity sink tile is located in a second story area, chances are you have a bigger problem at hand…as many plumbing problems start in that second story and worsen through the rest of the home.
