For awhile, I have heard a slow drip from the drain in my bathroom sink. I only hear the drip after a shut the faucet off and the water has fully drained. I have not found any water in the basement. This morning, I removed some tile and the wall board to get to the drain pipe. I ran the water again, heard the drip but there's no leak. The drain pipe and surrounding walls and floor are bone dry. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that I don't have a leak or mold.
The sink has a P trap that is inserted into the drain pipe. Is it possible that the drip sound is just the residual water dripping off the end of the P trap into the drain pipe? Is there some expansion or contaction of one of the pipes that might cause this? I can't figure this out.
Thanks.
