I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but wanted to know how pressing the issue is.
We bought this house in July from an older couple and the lack of maintenance and the outright failure to disclose issues has been very frustrating.
There is a leak coming from the guest bathtub and dripping on the wet bar below. The leak only happens during a bath and not a shower. The drain and overflow appear to be in working condition.
I removed the crown moulding piece on the cabinets and sure enough there two inspection holes in the drywall above the cabinets. I was able to take some pictures and it appears that the tub is rusted out. However, the drain appears to be intact, so I am not not sure why it is leaking. I considered removing the drain flange, but I am concerned that is will destroy the tub. Also, there appears to be corrosion on both the copper drain pipe and hot water supply.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advanced.
