Hello all,
My partner and I just moved into a conversion flat on the top (2nd) floor of a house built around 1900. This morning around the time when the heating came on we heard a dripping sound come from the ceiling above the bedroom. We had a poke about in the loft, but there didn't seem to be any water up there, and no signs of damp on the ceiling itself. I also noticed a wet patch on the carpet in the bedroom - but again, no visible water dripping from the ceiling onto the carpet and not even any signs of damp on the ceiling above the wet patch.
In a possibly unrelated matter (but thought I'd mention just in case) the toilet keeps trickling water for a really long time (hours) after being flushed. Now, I imagine the drip sound is just the creaking of the pipes and/or timbers, the wet patch is just condensation and the toilet issue is just a damaged flapper, but I'm still concerned it could be something more serious. Any other suggestions would be welcome!
Cheers,
Pat
