Was that a new drip??

Author: kovenlo (TX)

just had my upstairs bathroom tub remolded with new tile walls - There was NO tub leak when the job started and a leak appeared when it ended. The leak is from the main valve and the subcontractor is blaming it is not his fault - which I agree since he did not see the tilers use ladders in the tub and even had one of the guys and the ladder fall while they where tiling the ceiling and damage the tub. Plumbers what do you think the cause of the leak is?? just time or the pressure from the update?

Author: kovenlo (TX) They were not working on the valve - just basic tile work around the tub.... the first shower my son took after their remodel it starts to leak... just wondering if there is any defense that they did not cause the leak...
