Arrived to the home, customer states there is a leak from the upstairs bathtub going down to the kitchen ceiling, customer has already cut open a hole for me. The existing bathtub is an American Standard soaking tub with jets and a special order tub waste and over flow. I ran water to determine the cause of where the leak is coming from, there are no leaks coming from the tub drain or the trap for the tub. I next poured water on the overflow plate and water started to leak from below. I advised to the client that I can order this specific tub drain for them and come back to install it, but in order to install the drain, I would need to demo the tile in the adjacent shower in order to get access to the piping or removal of the tub completely. Client is aware of this, the cause of the leak is the rubber gasket for the overflow appears to have dry rotted.
