2nd Story Shower and Toilet Drain Leak
Hello:
Yesterday, I noticed a dripping sound on the 1st floor ceiling of my home when the up-stair "master" bath shower was being used. I now hear even louder dripping sounds when the up-stair master bath toilet is flushed. I do not hear dripping sounds when the up-stairs "guest" bath toilet is flushed.
About a week ago, I cleaned the up-stair master bath shower stall with a mold and mildew cleaner bought from Home depot. I used quite a bit of the cleaner, but not a ridiculous amount, and I let the cleaning solution remain for several hours before I washed the shower stall down.
Afterword's, I noticed that some of the shower stall caulking came loose. I didn't think too much of this because I installed that caulking over the original caulking and the original caulking still looked to be intact.
I am now concerned that the cleaning solution damaged the piping and/or joint cement. I am also concerned that more leaks may occur in the future.
Short of a plumber tearing up the floor boards, etc. is there a permanent repair for this sort of problem?
Thanks for your help.
