Any preliminary thoughts on cause of leak? I own a unit in the condominium that I’m currently renting out. I was informed by the tenant and the condo association that the unit below us is complaining of a leak in their ceiling near their living room. Condo association came and opened up the walls in my unit near the kitchen, but didn’t find anything in their pipes near the kitchen and the living room room where the leak apparently is in the unit below.

Only thing we were able to find so far is that the carpet immediately outside the bathroom door was damp. When I went to inspect the unit, it was still wet on the carpet floor just outside the bathroom door. Tenant says she just showered before I arrived. Tenant has lived there for four years. She states that in the last several weeks, she changed to a new shower curtain that just barely covers the side wall of the shower tub .

Is it possible that the showerhead is spraying out onto the floor of the bathroom, pooling on the floor and dripping out towards the carpet outside the door - and that this is the cause of the downstairs leak in the ceiling? Or does the damp carpet indicate that there is more likely a leak directly in my unit?

What is unusual to me is that the alleged leak in the downstairs unit ceiling is in their living room - which is about 10-15 feet away from my bathroom shower.

Any thoughts? Will have a plumber come out to investigate but wanted to hear some preliminary thoughts.
