We moved into this town house 3 months ago in july of this year. Turns out this place isn't very well kept up..
Just yesterday we noticed that the ceiling was leaking...a bubble of water was forming and started to drip water, we poked a hole in it and a stream of water came out. It looks like it's coming from the bathtub from upstairs. It stopped leaking til today after I took a shower. So I'm pretty positive it's from the bathtub.
Basically what I'm tryin to figure out is what should be done to fix the problem. I noticed that it looks like they had patched up the same spot before on the ceiling. So it seems as though they knew there was a leak and just covered it up without properly fixing it. I want to make sure they do the job right...and don't just surface fix it.
Also...is there any possibility that this could have caused mold to form because of being ignored for a while? I'm pregnant and worried about anything that could harm the baby.
thanks for any help. Kassie.
