Hi all,
On Friday evening I spotted a damp patch on the ceiling where it meets an external wall. It hadn't rained for a few days before this. If it did, it was a a very light shower at worse.
Click the pics below:
Above that ceiling is an en-suite, with a toilet in the general location. The waste for the toilet is to the left of that red marker, in the chunky boxing.
I can't be certain, but I don't think heating or water pipes run across where the damp patch is.
I did notice that the toilet was making a constant dripping sound coming from inside the pan. Strange really. I flushed it and the dripping sound stopped.
Is it possible for a leak from the toilet to travel over to where the damp patch is somehow? E.g drop on to a beam and run along it maybe.
Thanks!
