Hi there,
I have been in my new build for around 6 months now.
Have noticed a musty smell once I have used the shower.
Have checked the sealant around the tiles, all looks to be good.
Took the side off of the bath and other than piles of builder cr*p the builders had left chucked under the tub, I could not see any moisture.
Some wood panneling behind the plasterboard looked moist to me from the dark brown colour, but to the touch, felt dry. You can just make it out at the bottom of the green plasterboard here.
Other than that, it would seem the plug pipe goes along, and then connects to another pipe which is higher up. I am thinking that this is obviously going to allow water to sit here, and maybe this would be the cause of the smell I am getting.
Can anyone tell me if I might be right in my thinking?
It is the white pipe to the left of this image:
Another angle here:
Any ideas would be great. I am no expert, but I cannot see that this has been plumbed in a way that would allow dirty water to fully flow away from the bath. Maybe this is intentional to stop back flow if there was a blockage?
