Evening All!
Tonight I did the stupid thing of dropping off whilst running a bath. The bathroom is above our livingroom.
Our upstairs flooring is chipboard. The water has found it's way through the ceiling & has been dripping for a while now. I have mopped up what I can from upstairs (not a huge amount of water) but I suspect the water has bypassed the chipboard floor & is sitting on the plaster ceiling of the living room.
It has been dripping through the ceiling along what appears to be a joint in the plaster. I opened up the drip hole a little to allow the water to drain a bit quicker & it has now pretty much stopped.
I can't see under the bathroom floor as it is ceramic tiled, but I think the water has gone under the tiles where the tiles meet the bathroom carpet at the door. I have a dehumidifier running at the entrance to the bathroom & I have lifted the carpet & dried as much as I can.
What else should I do? Should I drill some small holes in the ceiling to try & ensure there is no water left? Any other advice?
