Hi. I live in a 6 years old three-story townhouse, and since some time ago I've been hearing water droplet noise from inside a wall and ceiling whenever one of our toilet on the third floor is flushed.
We have two washrooms on third floor and it's only one of the toilet that's causing this. No sound when the other toilet(on the same floor) is flushed. No sound when using shower or sink. But when this toilet is flushed I can hear water dripping sound even when I'm on the first floor. There's at least one other spot(ceiling and maybe inside another wall too) that I hear dripping sound.
There's no appearance of water damage so far. Dripping sound slows down and ends within a minute or so. When I flush it again it starts again but not as loud. Flush again and the sound is even softer. Another flush and I don't really hear it. After some hours I flush it again and I can hear it loud again.
I thought it was the drain pipe damage but I was told it's unlikely, especially flushing the other toilet on the same floor doesn't cause the same. So I'm thinking it must be somewhere around the connection between the toilet and its drainage. I have no experience in installing or detaching toilet. I see the toilet has no silicone applied around the base.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
