I noticed this morning that there was water dripping through the light fitting in my kitchen downstairs. I immediately turned off the electrics and then found what I think was the problem - the waste pipe from the bath upstairs appears to have been blocked and there was some amount of water standing in the bath. I guess the weight of the water must have forced a leak.
My question is this - should it be OK to just wait until the light fitting has dried out and then switch everything back on (having first repaired the waste pipe from the bath), or should I perhaps have the kitchen ceiling inspected in case there is more fundamental damage.
From a quick inspection this morning, I didn't notice any large water
marks around the dripping light fitting, and the volume of water that came through was not too great (maybe a couple of cup-fulls).
Any advice would be appreciated.
