There is water leaking up through the floor. We had Sears come out and check the air conditioning, couldn't find a leak. We had two plumbers come out, one wanted to go through the floor, and the other said just caulk around the bathtub and around the shower handles for the hot and cold water. When the second plumber came out, he ran the shower for 30 minutes and no leak. However, it doesn't not leak all the time. I will caulk on tomorrow. I just took a shower/bath and their was water on the floor, but then when I went outside their was water on the side of the house on the cement below the brick. Is their anyway to fix a leak without tearing through walls or floors? Feedback please!

I don't think this water is coming up through the floor. It is more likely bad caulk around the edges of the tub allowing water to run down the conceled inside wall and onto the floor.

Thank you so much I will do the caulking!
