Hello,
In the last week I have noticed a dripping noise coming from the ceiling/wall in our walk in wardrobe whenever the shower is turned on. Our bedroom is directly next to the bathroom on the same floor. There is no actual dripping into the space (No puddle) but I can hear it dripping from somewhere. There is a panelled off part which I assume runs pipes from downstairs to the upper floor in the wardrobe which is in the vecinity of the dripping so could the pipe in this section be the problem? Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Shaun

The pipes are apparently located in a plumbing chase. You will need to remove a section of the wall or ceiling to locate what is probably a leak in a joint or pipe.

Before you start tearing things up let's see if what you hear id a drip or the sound of pipes contracting and expanding. Do you see and moisture on the ceiling? Whit a leak you should see a wet spot.
Did you just experience a cold snap in your area? Answer me and then we'll do some tests. Back to you, Tom
