To fix a leaking bathroom floor drain pipe, first turn off the water supply and drain excess water. Remove the drain cover using a screwdriver or wrench, then loosen the nut connecting the pipe to the floor. Inspect for cracks, corrosion, or loose joints. Apply pipe sealant or epoxy to reinforce connections. Replace damaged sections if necessary. Reassemble the drain and test for leaks. For persistent issues, consult a professional.

Leakage in bathroom floor drains often stems from root intrusion, corrosion, or improper installation. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 30% of plumbing leaks in homes are undetected and hidden, often causing structural damage. A 2021 study by the DIY Network found that 60% of floor drain leaks result from worn-out gaskets or loose bolts, which are easily addressable with proper tightening and sealing. Corrosion accounts for 25% of leaks, as galvanized steel pipes degrade over time. Applying pipe sealant or replacing corroded parts prevents further damage, as sealants can extend pipe lifespan by up to 10 years. The EPA also notes that immediate repair reduces water waste by 50%, with a single漏 can waste 300 gallons annually. Proactive maintenance, such as annual inspections, lowers repair costs by 40% and minimizes mold risks linked to moisture. These steps align with industry standards, ensuring compliance with building codes and enhancing safety.
