Why is the ceiling flowing in the bathroom

Hello! Such a problem. The ceiling in the bathroom flows when the neighbors from above begin to actively use water. What could be the reason and how to eliminate? Thank.

Hello, Alexandra!

There is only one reason why water begins to drip from the ceiling, because of leaks or damage in drainage systems or sewer pipes. Very often leaks occur due to a violation of the installation rules of the drain systems. We recommend first of all to ask the neighbors from above to check the tightness of the toilet, bath (shower) and sink. Dry joints of all elements of the exhaust lines indicate that the cause should be sought in the sewer riser. A common cause of leaks in cast iron systems is the drying of the packing at the joints. In addition, the reason for the "rain" in the bathroom can be a banal microcrack, manifesting itself only during a period of increased load. In any case, an accurate diagnosis can be made only on the spot, after examining the highway. If it is not possible to assess the health of the system on your own, contact the management company. An experienced locksmith can find and fix such a malfunction in two ways.
