Is water pressure over 3-12 yrs enough to change locations of a bathtub drain?
-
Uhh so some people came in for some inspection, since some floor downstair has leaks coming in from their bathroom walls, or ceiling, or something like that. And they're trying to tell us that the reason is because the silver part of the bathtub drain has moved places because of the water pressure over the years. But I think there are so many contradictions to that. Like, our water pressure is so low, that there's no way that even 12 of water pressure could move it. And if it somehow DID move, then why is the drain still firmly in place? Because if it did, wouldn't you logicaly be able to like, move/jiggle the drain piece as well? so yeah. Is tap water pressure over 3-12 yrs enough to change locations of a bathtub drain? And if it isn't, can anyone help me think of a reason why they might think that our unit is the reason for this person's leakage problem? Because I honestly can't think of how that is specially our fault; I personally think it's the fault of the plumbing of this apartment over the years... And sorry in advance if it turns out this isn't in the right category..

It is possible water pressure has played a part in the leak. It could of rattled the drain damaging the seal. There is usually plumbers putty put around the drain before it is tighten up. The drain can be removed and new plumbers putty put in place. However it is more likely that the drain is corroded or damaged. It would depend on the type of pipe it is . It could be copper, steel, brass, polyvinyl chloride (PVC),Abs (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) depending on the age of the structure as well as the geographical region. It would be best to have a plumber look at the problem, not an inspector. Hope this is helpful

Not your problem.Their insurance should pay regardless,if not then they should hire a privet insurance adjuster firm that will get every penny coming to them.Water damage is covered unless by flood

Drains have no water pressure so that explanation is absurd. The leak is either coming from the water line, in which case it will leak all the time, or it is coming from the drain, in which case it will only leak when water is draining. You have to open up the wall or ceiling below to find out what is going on.
