    Water leaks along side of main drain into basement after using shower and sink
    After showering and/or using the sink, water drains alongside main drain into basement. It started as a small amount of water but, lately, the amount of water has increased inside a bowl placed next to main line in basement. We have applied sealant around cover of shower drain--no change.The shower has a fiberglass pan. The concern is that water drains whether we use the shower or the sink. Thank you for your assistance.
