    Leak in bathroom
    Whenever we take a shower water is coming up through the tile on the floor. It doesn't appear to be coming out directly from under the tub its coming up through one of the tiles about a foot or two from the tub and it's a pretty big pool of water. Anyone have any suggestions where its coming from. Thanks

    Hey Dusty,
    Sounds like the grout has shrunk allowing the shower stream to rundown inside the wall past the shower pan and onto the floor.
    The solution would be to recaulk the tiles around the area the stream hits.
    Good luck, Tom

    Dusty,
    You have cluttered up the Plumbing Page by posting the same question two times in as many days after I had already answered your question. Did you not see it? Tom
