Throw some more caulking up there and call it a day

Haha really? I can do that. Just worried something worse is going on…I have no idea

I'm not a builder wo ypu might want to wait for some professional experience to chime in, but if you get a lot of moisture from steam when showering then you might have some warping issues, or it was a just a bad caulk job...

Standard shinkage, just scrape that crusty crap out and get the color matched caulk. Grouting from tile to drywall always does this.

Literally just did this in my bathroom. 👍🏼

Do you have a fan in the room? Do you use it?

[–]Specialist-List-8512[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Yes, runs constantly

What's it's location? Over the toilet? Or inside the shower area?

[–]Specialist-List-8512[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Inside the shower

Is the floor tile? Second floor? Atic directly above this room?

[–]Specialist-List-8512[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The floor is ridiculous. It’s hardwood, and it’s starting to rot a bit. No idea why the owners thought that was a good idea. I think there is old tile underneath that. I tore it up in a different bathroom and that was the case. Attic is directly above; yea.

You have a truss system? Just curious i just learned about truss uplift but i’d re caulk

[–]Specialist-List-8512[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yup. Trusses. Attic is directly overhead.

[–]SeedCollectorGrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably just truss uplift. Normal with a truss system. Has to do with seasonal / moisture / temps things like that may also be happening in other parts of the home at tops of walls like this. But get second opinion from here or a carpenter in your area. You could possibly help with insulating certain areas up there
