I know remote diagnoses are difficult, but I’ll give it a try.
We moved into our new house in August. Since last week, we noticed that a drainpipe in the basement is damp and dripping.
Our gas and water plumber has checked it twice, but unfortunately, we still can’t find the cause.
At first, we tried to detect a leak, but no matter how much water is flushed, showered, or turned on, the moisture level does not increase or decrease (which is a good sign).
His current suspicion is condensation forming on the exhaust pipe in the bathroom (which is on the first floor directly next to the drainpipe). It’s worth mentioning that the exterior walls are not yet plastered and the exhaust pipe is open to the outside.
In terms of quantity, we collect about 0.2 liters (0.05 gallons) of water every three days from the dripping into a container.
