Hi all :) Well were selling our home and the inspector said we had a small leak under our 2nd bath we figured pout its coming from the shower we have a single story w/ a crawl space under so we could figure it out. Anyway the pan looks great to be honest we don't use that bath room very much. But could the leak be coming from the drain itself? If so how do we isolate it. Any advise is appreciated! Thanks Laura

Hi Laura,
"Could the leak be coming from the drain itself? If so how do we isolate it?"
To check to see if the you have a pan or a drain leak, take off the strainer and jam a wet rag or blow up a balloon and make the drain water tight.
Now fill the shower floor with a few inches and let it set over night. Next morning check for any moisture. If there is none then the leak's in the drainage which is a lot easier to repair then a leaky pan. Good luck. Tom
