I have just moved into a brand new townhouse. There is a guest bath that adjoins my son's bedroom. An area about the size of a manhole cover has appeared in my son's room that is soaking wet. We do not take showers in this bathroom but I occasionally take a bath. It seems to have appeared after my taking a bath for a couple of nights in a row. (This is the second time this has happened within a month but we got the area completely dried out after the first time and now it has happened again.) The first time, the builder found that some pipe or something behind the drain had been damaged during installation and they repaired it. That's when we got it all dried out and thought the problem was solved. I have not taken a bath in it since until just a few days ago and now it has reappeared. There seems to be no apparent cause for this problem because the water damage is kind of out in the middle of the floor with no obvious path of water leading to it if that makes sense. To me, it seems obvious that whatever is happening is happening after I take a bath but the builder insists that he has filled the tub up several times and let it drain and can't find a thing. He keeps trying to put it off on my son saying he's not pulling the shower curtain closed enough when he takes a shower and the water is running out of the tub, onto the floor, back under the tub and into his room. Impossible since we don't use the shower but he will not listen to me. I need advise cause I am not a plumber and don't understand everything the plumber is claiming but I'm also no dummy and know that he cannot be right. But I don't know how to discuss it with him without knowing more. Please help!
