My pipes are leaking from the upstairs tub.I know this cause when the tub drains the water runs down threw the downstairs ceiling fan that is directly under the tub.My question is do I have to go through the ceiling to find and fix the leak?

My question is do I have to go through the ceiling to find and fix the leak? Not if you have a access panel behind the front of the tub. If not you can cut one in. Your choice! Good luck, Tom
