Hi,
We have a 2 story house. Yesterday when someone was taking a shower on the second floor, water started coming through the ceiling on the first floor. The person who was taking the shower said there was not very much water coming out of the shower head. It was draining properly. After the shower was shut off, the water dripping into the first floor slowly diminished. The wet spot on the ceiling is quite large; about 8 ft by 4 ft., so we are talking about quite a bit of water. Does this sound like it could be the shower valve causing it?
We are trying to remove the shower valve, but are having problems. There is a large Brass ring that we cannot get to move. Does this ring turn the normal, counter clockwise, way? We have sprayed WD40 on it and are giving it some time.
We are hoping to avoid the cost of having a plumber come out if possible. Also, There isn't an access panel to this area. We don't know what brand the shower valve is.
Any information or tips would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
