Hi, situation: New build house, one year old, upstairs toilet fitted incorrectly by builder, small drip drip leak, every time flushed.
Leaked through the floor to the ceiling, not enough to drop to floor, but a watermark on ceiling. Also we have had a shower fitted, the splash back from the shower makes the upstairs bathroom floor quite wet, which again, leaks down very slowly (we wipe it up when it gets wet, but you know how things are , and the water finds it way through the boards....)
The bathroom has vinyl down, and it seems when we lift the vinyl up, the floor underneath is slimy and damp
The problem is, that the kitchen (the room below the bathroom) has a slight musty smell, presumably coming from the small discoloured patch on the ceiling.
so, i) we want to cover over the patch, best way to do that? ii) get rid of the musty smell iii) prevent the smell from returning by doing something upstairs, (seal the floor?)
any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated............
