What are common causes of bathtub leaks?

Common causes include faulty or worn-out seals around the drain or overflow, cracks in the tub, deteriorating grout or caulk, loose plumbing connections, and issues with the faucet or showerhead.

How do I stop my bathtub faucet from leaking?

A leaking bathtub faucet is often due to a worn washer, gasket, or O-ring, or a corroded valve seat. Replacing these components can typically stop the leak. Ensure the water supply is turned off before attempting any repairs.

How often should I reseal around my bathtub?

It's a good practice to reseal the caulk around your bathtub every 1 to 2 years, or sooner if you notice the sealant peeling, cracking, or molding.

Can a leaking bathtub cause structural damage?

Yes, if left unaddressed, a leaking bathtub can lead to significant water damage, including rotting of structural elements, damage to ceilings below, and the growth of mold and mildew, which can be health hazards.

What To Do If Your Tub Is Leaking

When there's any kind of leak in your home, it's normal to panic just a little! Water damage can be one of the most destructive problems for a homeowner. If you notice a tub leak, take these steps to minimize the issue before calling our professional team:

Turn off the water. This should be your first step with any plumbing leak. Find the main shutoff valve for your home and turn it off to prevent any more water from flowing through the leak.

Call City Plumbing & Rooter. Once you've stopped the flow of water, pick up the phone and call us at City Plumbing & Rooter. We'll dispatch a qualified technician to your home as soon as possible to take care of the issue.

Limit water usage. If you can't turn off the main water supply to your home, try to limit your water usage as much as possible until our team arrives. This will help minimize water damage.

Collect any leaking water. If you have buckets or towels handy, try to collect as much of the leaking water as possible. This will help prevent further water damage to your home.
