Have a strange leak coming from a newly installed bathroom sink drain
and am seeking advice from experienced plumbers who may help to identify the cause.
I run the water in the sink for several minutes and there are no leals detected from the drain and its J trap connections.
When I check back 5 minutes later there are no signs of leaks.
When I check back 15 minutes later I see dampness in the grout lines below the pedestal sink.
I have checked the supply connections there are no leaks
When I check the tailpipe and J pipe connections from the drain 5 minutes after turning off the faucets, there is no evidence of water or dampness
When I check again after 15 minutes I can feel wetness
This is frustrating. Can anyone who has had a similar experience with a sink leak please chime in and help me with this frustrating problem
Thanks for your help!
