Hello,
My upstairs bathroon is leaking onto the ceiling of another bathroom in a finished basement. I removed the drop ceiling and I'm able to see the tub and the pipes from the downstairs bathroom and it definitely is only leaking when the tub faucet is running. Once I change the diverter to the shower it's fine.
The water looks like it's dripping from the copper pipe that goes into the tub wall (fiberglass). Although I can see the pipes from downstairs, I can't reach up to get to them due to the subflooring. I was wondering if this could be as simple as replacing the faucet or if it was more likely the copper pipe itself. I'd like to be able to take care of this without having to call a plumber. I'd really appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks,
Matt
