Leak from shower stall
Hi. I just bought a old home. I took a shower and found that water leaks in the basement from the shower. It is not the drain. It has actually started to rot the floor. Where should I start. The shower is on the main floor. It is a small one person shower with the small tiles. And a shower door. Should I start with breaking out the tile and replacing the pan?
Thank you, |

That would be a start but from what you tell us the framing will need some replacement. The origins of the leak could be a failed pan and grout, drain pipe or even a leaky mixing valve. Start by shutting off the water to this shower and determine which the leak started, this must be done before you can begin to rebuild. |

I have leaking shower stall built on a concrete slab, home built in 1959. The tile on the walls and ceiling of the stall is Pepto Bismal pink and gray attached via mortar and metal screen and has some small cracks (shoulder height). The tile on the floor looks like a glass mosaic with the grout...
