Help please! I noticed a damp patch in my kitchen where my downpipe from the upstairs toilet is boxed in. Appeared the leak was coming from above. Now ripped off loads of tiles in toilet and can see that the leak is from a pipe that comes from the shower and where it joins the big downpipe, thats where the leak is. I have pushed the pipe in more and this seems to have stopped the leak.
The lagging however is wet, don't know how long it's been leaking, but the lagging is wet near the drip and this goes all the way down to the kitchen and drips of water is coming from the bottom lagging. I know it would be best to replace all the lagging, but by doing so I would have to remove/ replace the neat boxed in corner in the kitchen. So any ideas? Do you think a hair drier / electric heater would dry it out?? I would say it's about 10 foot of lagging that would need replacing / drying out.
I would appreciate any help or advice, thanks in advance.
