If your shower/bath is leaking from the bottom or causing water damage to the ceiling or walls on the floor below, it is likely an issue with your tub drain assembly or overflow. The overflow drain and the waste drain are the two most likely places for leaks to occur. That includes the tub shoe, the first elbow-shaped pipe that attaches to the bottom of the drain basket. Bathtub overflow pipes and waste drains can spring leaks for a number of reasons, including poor installation, a break in the pipe, cracked plumber’s putty, bad glue work at pipe joints, or worn-out rubber gaskets. All of these issues can be fixed with help from a licensed plumber. At Earl’s Plumbing, we’ll never take a band-aid approach to your plumbing—we’ll find a long-term solution for replacing or resealing your tub drains so you won’t have to worry about future leaks.
