In the middle of a bath remodel. Had everything down to the studs. Now that all walls are all back up and I am ready to tile I noticed water on the floor. Water is leaking from the bottom of the drywall on the back of the shower. On the other side of this drywall is the shower plumbing. This wall has been up for a month and just started showing signs of a leak. What would cause a leak when we are not using any water in the bathroom at all. The toilet is not in yet and the shower has not been tiled yet. Could it be that the pressure built up in the shower pipe and that is why it is just now leaking, should I turn the water on in the shower to see it the leak goes from a drip to a drizzle? Help
Thanks to everyone's responses. I took the drywall down and the leak was in the shower pipe where the new shower head fixture was installed. The contracter who installed the fixture will be repairing the pipe and the wet drywall. Thanks Again!!!
