A couple of days back the shower partition leaked and flooded out the bathroom floor. Last night, the kitchen light underneath the bathroom tripped.
Took the bath panel off to have a look, and found damp floorboards. Also the baths overflow drain had been leaking beneath the U bend (second picture.)
Can't see any signs of a leak downstairs, and have turned off downstairs lights from breaker. Am running a dehumidifier next to damp area in bathroom.
Have spoken with electrician, he said that he could look at it today but replacing the fixture might not be done until the area is dry next week. He'd charge me an hourly rate for any visit. So I'm thinking might be better to wait a few days until dry, to keep costs down to one visit.
My concern in the immediate moment is electrical safety, if there's anything more that I should do?
