We've known since doing our home inspections that there were a few cracks in the grout in our master bathroom shower. It was on our to do list to caulk the cracks, in case they were deep enough to be causing leaks, and we were already planning on eventually redoing all of the bathrooms in the house, including re-tiling the master shower, although the master bath was going to be our last priority out of the three baths.
Well, now we're going to have to move the master bath up on our to do list.
Saturday, after we installed a new dryer vent in our crawlspace (and rerouted it so the vent was only about an 8 foot span, instead of the 25+ foot run it used to be), my husband went to go take a shower. Which resulted in us seeing a drip coming from the ceiling in the laundry room, right through the drywall.
We'd already removed the popcorn from the laundry room ceiling, but hadn't done anything else with it, so we decided to just go ahead and open it up to see if we could identify the source of the leak. Considering the drywall was already squishy from a couple of weeks of leaking on it, we knew we'd be replacing it anyway.
And yes, as we'd expected, the leak was coming from just to the side of the drain pipe. Good times!
