Yesterday, we noticed some mold on the drywall in the basement. My dad opened the wall and found that water leaked on the outside of the big drain pipe when we used water in the new bathroom we built on the second floor (two stories above the basement). So my dad opened the wall of the first floor bathroom to find where the water is coming from. The problem was a pipe that broke in the wall. Before we built the second story bathroom, this was a vent. It is now a wet vent that is used as the drain for the second story bathroom. This leak has probably been there for years and we only just found out about it. Here is a photo of the first floor bathroom wall. The pipe to the right that is cracked is the vent for the sink.
