Rubber O-Ring?
Hello everyone and thanks in advance for any help.
Just bought a new house 2 months ago and one of the upstairs showers seems to be leaking. We already cut out a section of the ceiling to get a better look, and it looks like the previous owner was aware of it or something because previous repairs were made (it was rented before we bought it so we figured the renter saw the problem, "fixed it," and stopped using the bathroom just in case).
Anyway, caulked the whole bathroom and it is definitley coming from the shower. There isn't a tile floor so it wouldn't be the gout. The water from the ceiling is leaking from in between two pieces of wood that make up one of the joists.
We thought it was maybe the rubber O-Ring that was the problem. We were able to get it out of the drain pretty easily, which makes us believe even more that's the problem because shouldn't it be pretty tough to take out? I've looked at other posts that mention the shower pan, but the leak isn't that bad and the drain drains quickly.
Any thoughts? I have order an O-Ring (Fiat) but wanted to see if there was anything else I should be aware of.
Thanks.
