Just recently bought first home. Upstairs shower gas been used only a handful of times but today it started to leak. Was planning on doing some demo up there anyways but wasn't at the top of the list...what should I do to troubleshoot the leak I am good with my hands but don't have much plumbing experience
Leaking shower arm---remove valve cover plate for valve and look in the hole---
Leaking gasket at tub over flow---over fill the tub to check---silicone caulk and tighter screws to fix--
Tub spout leaking out the back and squirting into wall----replace spout---
Leaking valve/mixer cover plate---tighten and caulk the top of the cover only.
Leaking mixer valve---remove cover and look---
Leaking drain set--P-trap---or old barrel trap cover ---open up the ceiling under the tub and look--
A snake camera is handy when trouble shooting----a wad of paper towels on the end of a wire also works---
