(253) 378-0055Bathtub Leaks Often Show Up Somewhere Else First
A leak at the bathtub drain or overflow assembly frequently shows up as a stain on the ceiling of the room below rather than as visible water in the bathroom itself — by the time it's noticed, water has often been seeping for some time.
Slow-draining tubs are usually caused by hair and soap buildup in the drain and trap, but a tub that drains slowly despite clearing attempts, or one that gurgles, may indicate a deeper blockage or a venting issue in the drain line.
Fixing the Drain, the Leak, or the Full Replacement
We inspect the drain and overflow assembly, trap, and connections beneath the tub to identify the source of a leak or slow drain. Most drain and overflow leaks are resolved by resealing or replacing the gasket and fitting assembly.
For full bathtub replacement, we handle the plumbing connections — drain, overflow, and supply lines — coordinating with the physical tub installation to ensure a clean, leak-free result.
