    Leak from ceiling
    Whenever someone takes a bath or shower the ceiling will begin to leak, I am not sure what is causing the problem, as the whole house was remodled about 3 yrs ago and that inculded the plubing, any suggestions on what might be causing the proble? We have tried chalking but withyout any success in stopping the leak the ceiling tile is starting to give way do to the water damage

    Are there any signs of water on the floor? Do you have a shower curtain or a door? Does the tub flex when someone gets in it? What kind of tub faucet? Brand?

    yes ther e is water on the floor you can see it leaking i have started to put a pot out to catch the water! No the tub dose not flex when someone gets in, there is a shower curtain in place. I'm not sure what kind of faucet it is it looks to be a regular one to me.
