Almost a good Canadian reference. Points for tryin

 

Anybody else having internet issues this morning?

 

Where is your AC air handler located? Is it remotely around where the leak is at? I'd check and see if the air handler drain is clogged.

 

It would be difficult, my A.C. unit is on the roof on the opposite side of the house and the drain is probably not up to code but it basically just runs down the roof and drips to the ground. I'll take a look and see if this may be a secondary drain of some kind.

 

It's nowhere near the leak. It may be shower related since the water was noticed a while after showering.

Hang any pictures up lately? seen where someone drives a nail though one of those poly water lines. Might be worth getting up in the attic above where the water is coming out from. move the insulation and see if you can see any moisture. If you think you narrowed it down to the shower, check the neck and valves to make sure you're not blowing/misting water back into the wall when you've got the water on. After dealing with a whole plumbing mess at my rental home, i realized how easy it is for a valve to leave from a shower/tub back into the walls (fucking home builders suck these days). Thankfully my issues only required me to replace the cartridge valves. Thankfully @mbmack1 was kind enough to let me bounce some troubleshooting ideas off of him and he offered some solid suggestions.

Good luck man on both fronts.

 

I haven't hung anything, it's all galvanized steel pipe, no attic, home is 62 years old so I'm worried about a pipe rusting through. Other than that, I'll check everything I can without ripping into the walls first, but I'll be getting all the pipes replaced in the next 6 months before I sell.

 

My driveway is gonna be looking much better now that the taco has a new partner.

 

She has only ever owned a red car. It was actually quite difficult to fine a red 4x4 with third row seat. That's what she had to have and that's what she got. Had do settle for a 2016 cpo with 40k miles but only paid $29k

Feels maybe a bit expensive, but still badass

 

Not gonna bother with the actual driveway pic since my parents are still living with me and their 4 cars would take away from the shot

 

I hated red, even when I bought my truck at first. But, I realized not many people had them, so I fell in love. Then when it was built... oh baby

 

Are you asking me to pick you up some too?

 

Yessir you have a good looking truck. Maybe once I get my rear LT I'll make a better effort to come down and play with you and the other phx area guys

 

Smoked some salmon on the traeger tonight for my folks

 

I've been in the plumbing trade for over a decade and from what I've seen in your posts I'm thinking either your shower pan is leaking or you have a slab leak (a pipe leaking under the foundation). It's also possible that you have a leak in the wall. If it's a leak in that wall then you will feel a significant temperature difference between the bottom of the wall and that same wall 2'-3' higher by placing the back of your hand against it. Also the plaster will basically turn to mush under the paint if the wall is soaked. Try that and if that doesn't seem right then go out to your water meter when NO WATER is being used (this includes irrigation, pool fill, swamp cooler or toilets filling up, ect...) And see if the little red triangle is spinning. If the red triangle is moving, then there is water moving through the meter, indicating a leak. If you have a newer digital meter then there will be a different indicator of water moving through the meter. Consult the interwebs to figure out what that might be... I'm too drunk at the moment to use that much brain power.

If your meter indicates water usage then go to your water riser at the house and close your shut off valve. If the meter stops showing water usage at this point then you have a leak, and if it's not in the wall or attic then it's under the slab, and you'll need to repipe your house sooner than you planned.

If the meter shows no water usage then you may have a leak in the grout and shower pan. Examine the grout/caulk lines and see if you think this seems likely.

Pm me if none of this sorts out or if you have more questions. Also, sorry about your wife- nothing worse than a lying, cheating ass woman. Sorry to hear about it bro.
