    Hi- leak upstairs shower/downstair ceiling plaster falling.
    Hi, I had a leak over the weekend from the upstairs shower to the downstairs living room. I noticed that new chalking is needed upstairs. So I'm going to do that but what else should I look into? Also my ceiling downstairs had some plaster fall into the carpet- any suggestions for that? I know I could call someone but I'm trying to spend as little as possible so if I can do it myself I will. Thank you Vivian.

    (I know there's a lot of questions and leaks but none of them seem to have the answer that I'm looking for.)

    Hi Vivian,
    A few questions and we're on our way. Is this a custom tile shower or a manufactured enclosure?
    I noticed that new chalking is needed
    Please explain! What needs to be caulked?
    Until we locate the source of the leak use the tub and let the ceiling dry out.
    Back to you, Tom
