Hello,
looking for some advice with regards to our new wet room shower, we have noticed a leak in the ceiling directly below the shower. We have run some tests and forced water down the waste using a hose and it seems to be fine, we’ve placed the hose in different areas around the shower and the only place that caused two small coin-shaped leaks to appear on the ceiling below was when the water from the hose was running over the edge of the drain. However, the full extent of the leak appeared when we removed the hose and left the shower running for 20 minutes and the larger leak appeared on the ceiling. There are a few small hairline cracks in the grout.
Our plumber has since moved to Australia and before I get someone else in to fit it I want to be armed with some knowledge as I’m sure rectifying this kind of job is every plumbers worst nightmare.
Pictures attached!
Thanks in advance.
