Bathtub and Shower-shoe leaks
Bathtub and Shower-shoe leaks can be the cause of water draining from a bathtub or shower inadvertently. When water seeps past a bathtub or shower-waste mechanism, it goes down the bathtub or shower drain. But when the leak is at a bathtub or shower shoe, the water goes into unwanted areas, such as a downstairs ceiling.
A lack of putty on the underside of the bathtub or shower drain is the most common cause for bathtub or shower-shoe leaks. It is possible, however, that the leak is due to a faulty or missing bathtub or shower-shoe gasket. You still can see bathtub or shower where the tub-shoe gasket was never installed.
If you are faced with a situation where there is no access to the bathtub or shower shoe, you must do the repair from inside the bathtub or the shower. This is really not difficult, and it saves time and trouble of cutting out a ceiling. All that is required is the removal of the bathtub or shower drain.
Once the bathtub or shower drain is unscrewed, the bathtub or shower gasket can be retrieved and inspected. Replacing the bathtub or shower gasket requires a little manual dexterity, but it can be done from inside the bathtub or shower without much trouble.
You can put a little pipe dope or wax on the back of the gasket to make sure it doesn't slide off the bathtub shoe before the drain is replaced. Losing your only gasket between the floor and ceiling can be embarrassing, and the tacky dope or wax minimizes the risk of loss.
By installing a new gasket, putting sealant compound on the drain's threads, and installing putty around the inner rim of the bathtub or shower drain, you can be fairly certain of stopping a leaking bathtub or shower shoe.
Bathtub or Shower That Drain Slowly
Bathtub or shower that drain slowly are a common problem. The cause of the problem is usually either a tub waste that needs to be adjusted or a partial blockage in the bathtub or shower drainage system. A vent that is obstructed or nonexistent can also contribute to the slow draining of a bathtub or shower.
Hair is a frequent enemy of bathtub or shower drains. Even bathtub or shower equipped with strainer-type drains can be slowed by accumulating hair. Mechanical tub wastes are particularly susceptible to hair attacks. Look at the different types of wastes and see what to do when a bathtub or shower is not draining fast enough.
Escutcheon and bathtub or shower-Spout Leaks
Escutcheon and bathtub or shower-spout leaks can be extremely hard to find unless you know to look for them. When escutcheons and tub spouts are not installed with the proper gaskets or putty, they can allow water to run right past them. The water can get into the wall and drip down to the floor. The leak can spread out and be difficult to pinpoint.
A garden hose is ideal for testing this type of situation. By spraying water on the escutcheons and bathtub or shower spout, you can determine if they are leaking into the access area. If you don't have a garden hose to use, fill a pitcher or bucket with water and splash it on the escutcheons and spout. You can use paper towels in the access area to help locate any stray water.
Escutcheon and bathtub or shower-spout leaks only occur when water is splashed against them. The most common cause is when someone is taking a shower and the water bounces off his or her body and onto the walls.
