Re: [DIY] Leak from upstairs toilet to ceiling AC vent

 

Found the culprit. It was a combination of things. First one of the bolts was loose. Second, the ball cock system was old and the mechanism to push down on the overflow had deteriorated, so it was occasionally leaking out the toilet handle.

Plumber came in and looked, didn't see any signs of molding or bigger picture damage. He said we were lucky that we caught it right away so that it didn't sit anywhere long. He noted that the bathroom was indeed right over the vent and the fact that the vent stopped dripping pretty much right after we mopped up the bathroom where the clacked linoleum was shows the culprit. He figured the water found a path through the linoleum, rode the outside of the ductwork until it went down, then dripped out the duct exit and through the vent.

Fingers crossed that's all it is.
