Hi,
For a few months, I've noticed that in one of my bathrooms when the tub spout or showerhead are turned on and running for awhile, water starts leaking from the back right corner of the tub onto the floor.
But as of a few days ago, the water now leaks into the hallway baseboard which is on the other side of the tub wall. I also noticed that the carpet in the bedroom that shares the left wall with this bathroom has a wet spot near the baseboard as well. However, I have not noticed a leak near the left side of the tub. Maybe because it is against the wall.
The water leak that I saw is in the caulked area in the right corner near where the back of the tub, bathroom wall, and baseboard meet. The leak only happens when the tub water is turned on. Also, I'd like to mention that I have been monitoring my water meter and the leak dectector is not moving.
What could be causing this leak? The caulking is in pretty bad shape and has been for awhile. Could that be the problem or something else?
Any input would be great appreciated...
