Why does it leak when I take a bath but not a shower?
If you see water leaking, it is very likely you have loose connections in the drain fitting or the drain trap below the tub. Tighten or repair them as needed. If running water in the tub causes no leaking, run the shower instead. Jan 29, 2022
Why is my bath leaking through the ceiling?
Damaged O-rings, washers, or gaskets are usually to blame. When hair, soap, and other debris clog a shower drain, the water can’t go down the drain. If the tub or pan overflows, it could leak through the ceiling below. Over time, the rubber gasket under the shower drain can dry out, crack, and leak. Dec 8, 2020
What is underneath a bathtub?
Bath traps, a type of “slab leave-out”, are located under bathtubs. Why leave a big hole under a bath tub? Generally these openings are left for the convenience of plumbing contractors in case the plumbing needs to be moved or serviced.
