    There are a few things that could be the problem. To name some.

    1. drain pipe may have hole in it.

    2. if tile, grout where tile and base meet is bad.

    3. tile floor may need regrouting.

    4. if tub/shower combo, where tile meets tub may need grouting.

    These are a few. Give us more info and we can help you.

    Several more things that make cars your leak. Does the floor flex a bit when you step into it? Also the tile grout may haveshrunk allowing the stream that hits the tile wall to leak down past the shower pan into the ceiling. Can you furnish more details? Tom microphone off for lack of a black half of the garage. I want to point the hundred feet back on

    Hey Brian,
    I am using Dragon speak where I talk into a microphone and it types out what I say. The post should have ended when I said,"microphone off" but it picked up what I was saying to my wife. Sorry for the confusion. Regards, Tom

Hot water not lasting when showering [ 1 Answers ]
