Thank-you all in advance.
As the title says in need of advice as not sure whether to call plumber out on new years eve!
I have a leak which i'm 99% sure is coming from my bathtub/pipes into my downstairs neighbours flat.
I bought the flat leasehold and have been here for 5 weeks but only had a bath twice a week(yuk..yes I know i've been decorating and only like showers and I don't have one at the moment)
This is the first sign of a leak downstairs that I know of.
This is what I don't understand.Ive just ran the tap for two baths and its no worse downstairs.(4.5 hours ago)
I took the bath panel off and I looked for every leak possible underneath.
Not a single drop.
Now before I went away I let some water go into the overflow(about two pints worth or more)just by mistake.
Now then later that day my neighbour says theres a drop of water(not bad).She said about a tennis ball size.I said let me know if it gets worse.
No call.
I get home 6 days later and fill the bath up twice and let it go through the overflow heavily to see if there is a leak.
A few droplets. So I seal it up and thought that was it.My neighbour then says its 3 times worse.
Now I have this problem.
I'm thinking maybe its the overflow somehow?
But its not leaking that I can see.
Happy new year all.
