Great info. Have problem with dripping sound from second floor bathroo

13 years ago
The sink and tub drain pipes for both second floor bathrooms seem to connect and run down inside the wall between the kitchen and dinning room. When water is drained you can hear it flowing down the pipes in the dinning room. My concern is that when the flow stops you may also hear a dripping sound for another several seconds. There are no wall stains to indicate a hole in the pipe. The house is 18 years old. Is there a problem that needs a plumber.

Thanks

    With my experience with plumbing issues, I can say no. However, you don't really know until you see behind the wall. If you have a home warranty with a small deductible (less than $100) have someone come check it out. Better safe than sorry. Your installation between the walls drown out noises behind the wall you normally don't hear but would hear.

    If you are concerned about a problem with water in your home, it may be appropriate to call our a plumber. Even if there is no issue that is uncovered, the peace of mind you gain may be worth the fee for the advice. Good luck and hope you don't uncover any problems with your plumbing!
