Shower leak from the ceiling
Hi, I have a shower leak from my ceiling flowing down into my kitchen. I know this subject was covered previously, but I think my story may or may not be a little different.
Recently, my shower was and still is stopped up with standing water that slowly drains. I tried all the simple answers to fix this. Examples are Draino with foam, a plunger and also one of those drain clog remover's that blow a large amount of air into the pipe. None of this worked, so I tried to use a Commercial Strength drainer clog remover. Looks like it may have been too strong.
First it smelled like rotten eggs (maybe it was supposed to), then it started to leak in my downstairs ceiling and it also eat a large whole in my main drain in my basement, which I did fix. What stuck out to me is that the porcelain part of the drain in my basement was OK, but there was a hole was in the black rubber part of the main drain. So I replaced that.
However, I still have the leak in the ceiling. I think it may be the same situation with rubber in the pipe above my kitchen causing it to leak. But I have no idea what to do or if my rubber theory is correct.
Can someone help me?
Thank you so much!
