Leaking Bath waste pipe?

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.30 PM

Upstairs neighbours flat bath is leaking via a waste pipe which is under floor board / behind walls. This waste pipe is leaking water down to my kitchen ceiling every time the bath is used. The flat belongs to a neighbour upstairs and is contracted out to lettings company. The tenants have recently been evicted. The bath has been replaced with a new one however leaking is still happening. There are 3 floors, my flat is on the ground floor, upstairs neighbour on the 1st floor. I got 2nd floor neighbour directly above ours to run her bathroom and after a few minutes, I can also hear dripping noises above my kitchen ceiling and water is running down the waste pipe. I believe that the waste pipe is leaking at the junction which explains why I hear dripping noises after a few minutes. If the bath tap is run in the 1st floor upstairs flat, the dripping noise on my kitchen ceiling is every 2 seconds. I need to know if its definitely the bath waste pipe from upstairs that is loose/faulty and also a quote on how much it will cost repairing. Thank you very much everyone for your help and advice.
