My bathtub drain leaks. This problem is most likely a result of poor craftsmanship at the time the home was built. The Home Owner Warranty has expired. Without tearing apart the tub and surrounding finish work, is there a product to pour into the drain so that it seals as it moves down the drain.
Thank you.
No, not without sealing, I mean clogging, the drain. Do you know exactly where the leak is coming from? I would suspect that the water is getting around the drain, instead of down the drain. The visible part of the drain should unscrew from the part that is underneath. That bottom part is likely permanently sealed to your drain plumbing.
You may be able to easily fix your leak by:
#1 Unscrewing the visible drain top.
#2 Replacing the washer under that top. This will seal your tub to your drain. All water will then be forced to flow down the drain properly.
#3 Screw the top of your drain back into place WITHOUT folding or wrinkling the new washer.
Good luck
