I found a water leak running down into the basement. There is some water damage behind the wall.. I cut a hole into the bottom of the wall it and have been trying to locate the cause by checking different things. Filled bathroom tub upstairs and when I opened the drain the water dripped down the leak. Thought I found the source. Turned off the water to the bathroom and have not used that tub/shower, sink or toilet. Things seems to be ok until I flushed the toilet in the first floor (directly under the upstairs bathroom) and washed dishes in the kitchen sink (first floor but opposite side of the house).. l'm not sure which of the two was the new water problem.. will wait till leak drys and dry running water in kitchen sink again.
What can this problem be? At first I thought it was the drain in my upstairs tub.. the tub would slowly drain even while drain was closed and twice while draining tub found water came through fan in ceiling in the first floor bathroom (directly under upstairs bathroom). We stopped using upstairs tub thinking for the time.. and didn't have a problem with the shower.. but know I'm stumped that the downstairs leak seems to be caused by more that one thing. Please help and advise. I will call a plumber but would like to narrow things down first. Thanks you for any help.
Also.. been getting little slow black moths near leak in basement. Septic is nearby but has been cleaned out a year ago...
