The leak that we thought was from the shower and had it repaired last fall, has turned out to be a leak from the toilet. New plumber wanted to double check before he opened the wall, said it was such an unusual leak in a small dark location, you'd have to be a plumber to find it. I don't think the original plumber even looked in the toilet area, saw the old shower control was leaking and said it was probably running along a board and dripping to the floor. Since there was never any standing water it wasn't till some tiles became loose we investigated further.
We have the ceramic tile removed and the subfloor cut out. The tile was only in the toilet area, a very small room. The flooring in the rest of the bathroom is wide wood planks. We thought it was installed direct on the concrete but appears it may have subfloor over concrete also. No obvious damage and tearing up the entire bathroom is not an option. There is a 6" wall between the toilet area and the rest of the bathroom, the only visible area between tile and wood is at the doorway.
I think I've read about a product you can use in a situation like this, a spray, that would kill any unseen damage that might be there. Anyone know of this or any product that will work here?
Thanks.
