Browse Forums DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair 1 Sep 29, 2019 10:55 pm We built our single story house 4 years ago and for the last few months, we have been hearing a faint creak or even a drip sound in the main bathroom walls. We have been away for a few days and now the noise in more constant and louder. Any idea on what it could be or how we should find the issue? Or would it be something the builder could investigate since our house is under 7 years old? I'm hoping it's just pressure in our pipes but wouldn't know how to release it. Any help would be great.

If so then it almost certain to be an internal pipe or connection leak inside the wall cavity. If you check the skirting boards and plaster adjacent to the bathroom wall, is there any sign of water damage? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Ain't that the truth!
