Determining Ceiling Leaks Tampa<\/span><\/p>\n

When the ceiling is leaking you need to take immediate action. When you see a drip and it is continuous and does not stop, then you need to shut off the main water valve to the house right away to prevent major water damage to your floors. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once it has been determined that it is a damaged waterline (the leak will stop after you\u2019ve turned off the water), you will need to open ceilings or walls to determine which area the leak is exactly coming from. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>If you notice the leak to be sporadic, then it\u2019s important to determine if it is happening when you bathe, shower, or flush the toilet. We have found over the years of leak detection experience and diagnostic work, that running a few simple, but important water tests will inform you of the cause of the leak. You can always reach out to Red Cap Plumbing to handle your ceiling leak for you.\"ceiling<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bathtubs<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Most times when it\u2019s coming from the bath tub, it\u2019s the overflow, the round chrome plate below the spout. We have found that our customers fill up the tub past this point and if the washer behind this plate is worn, then it cannot seal the water anymore between the tub and chrome plate therefore causing a leak to occur. Tubs usually have an access panel behind the tub, take a quick peek while your running the test.If it is a shower causing the leak, then it\u2019s typically from the grout, shower doors, or the trim (the trim is where the handle is to turn your shower on & off) is leaking between the tile and the plate. Again, running a water test by filling up a pitcher of water and running it over the shower trim, will determine the leak. You may have to run that test several times. <\/span><\/p>\n

Toilets<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Toilets can cause leaks to lower levels, typically when this occurs, the wax seal has gone bad, flush a few times and see if the water is leaking. (Make sure that all other water is off when you do this.)<\/span><\/p>\n
