Hello,
I am really hoping for some feedback. I would really appreciate it! I don't know if this is enough info but I hope it is.
I completely renovated a house with all new plumbing.
There is an upstairs claw foot tub. The two lower nuts on the supply lines (just above the shut off valves) are leaking (a slow continue drip is coming out of them). The two nuts on top of the supply lines (but underneath the clawfoot tub lip) also have a slow drip).
This happened a month ago - I called the plumber to ask him about it. He said tighten the nuts and you should be good.
Fast forward to today -have been gone a couple of days - walked in last night and there was a puddle on my kitchen floor with water in one of my recessed lights. Plumber came today. Said the nuts were loose. Tightened them up again. Does not know why they become loose? Had to pull out half the ceiling drywall because it was spongy!
Anybody have any ideas. Maybe I am imagining this but the supply lines appear very slightly bent (if you really look at them). Could that be it. Any other ideas? Should I just replace the supply lines, shut off valves? What could cause this? Faulty parts? Plumber error?
Just lost on this.
Thanks in advance.
