If your bathtub drain is actively leaking water through the ceiling of the room directly below, you are dealing with a significant plumbing failure. Stop using the bathtub immediately. Inspect the waste and overflow assembly, drain basket, and P-trap connections for cracks or loose gaskets. In most cases, the leak is caused by a degraded bathtub drain gasket or a loose overflow seal. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Place a bucket under the ceiling leak to catch dripping water and prevent further drywall collapse. Verification: Repair the faulty drain gasket and test the tub to confirm the ceiling leak stops completely.
