Water damage can be very devastating in any form that it hits your house or business. A few months ago in my townhouse the tub filled up and wouldn’t drain. We couldn’t figure out what was the problem, so we tried to extract some ourselves then use a drain cleaner. We thought maybe our drain just got clogged, like most drainage problems occur. It still didn’t go down completely when I got home from work the next day; there was still about an inch or so of water just sitting. So I decided I would call the community plumber and make an appointment. He was supposed to come in the morning to check out the situation and get rid of the sitting water.
It was a normal night around the house; dinner, TV, and relaxing until bedtime. The next morning I got up early to get some breakfast and do a few errands before the plumber came. When I walked into the kitchen a puddle was in the middle of the floor and a constant dripping sound was coming from the ceiling. When I looked up to see what was going on I noticed a water stain and where the water was dripping from. I came to the conclusion the kitchen is below the tub in the upstairs bathroom. I called the plumber to explain the situation and I had to drop of the dogs at my sisters. It was not a good morning.
After he got there and looked at the situation, it wasn’t a normal occurrence. The drain was actually clogged by the tab that blocks water so you can take a bath. It broke off and got stuck in the piping backing up water which caused so much pressure that a leak occurred underneath. It took a few days for the ceiling to dry in order to patch it up and replace wet items then repaint.
