Sometimes after a shower we get water leak in main floor bath,it does not look like any problem with plumbing. where could the water come from
SOURCE: leak in the shower is leaking water through the ceiling
Hi lorenzotwalk,
I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.
Your problem is: When you use the shower, water leaks through the ceiling.
First, since it only leaks when you're using it you can ignore the water lines. Now comes the detective work. Look very closely at any place the water can squeeze thru, i.e. cracks in grout or caulk, etc. Don't forget to look on the floor imediately outside the shower and around the shower door if any. If found it must be scraped out, cleaned and dryed to get good adhesion, then caulked with a high quality silicone caulk (color of your choise). Any other caulk will crack no mater what they say.
Let dry for 24 hrs.
If you havent found this kind of problem it's time to look at the drain line connection. You may have to open the ceiling to do this, that's why I'm always carefull in the first step. Turn the water on and watch the drain connection. If it leaks there, it must be repaired. In this case you might cunsider checking the Repair Directory for a repairman.

SOURCE: my upstairs tub leaked and can see large water
you will want to fill the tub up and turn the tub on first and get behind the tub and see where the water is coming from. there isn't any other way to find the leak.
SOURCE: water comes from both the shower head and bath tub
if it is standard shower where you pull the knob up when water is running. the pull knob lifts a flap to shut off water to bottom faucet it proably has some buildup on the flap clean well with some clr or other calcium cleaner like it so the flap gets a clean seal on downspout

Its a relatively
straight-forward repair if you know a bit about plumbing and have an
adventurous spirit. If not, I recommend calling a plumber.

if you have a water stain on the ceiling below your tub then you have a water leak. There is no easy solution for this. You must get to the underside of the tub in order to watch the jets when the tub is full of water to isolate the leak and then have it repaired by a plumber.
