    Bathtub leaking underneath and water is running through the walls into the patio
    What can I expect if water from bathub is running through the bottom of the wall and into the patio?

    You can expect MAJOR structural damage to the house if its not fixed ASAP.




    If you are asking what might be leaking... it could be the drain.. or the seal between the drain and the tub... assuming nobody is showering over the tub then you got wall, grout and tile issues.

    I agree, stop using the tub until you find and fix the problem. Bet you are on a slab, right?
