No, a slow-dripping overflow pipe is not an immediate emergency that will cause catastrophic flooding, but it requires prompt attention. Because the overflow assembly is hidden behind finished walls, a chronic slow drip will steadily rot wooden subfloors, warp drywall, and foster toxic mold growth over time. Verification: Inspect the area behind the tub wall and replace the degraded rubber overflow gasket at your earliest convenience.
