I like the way your mind works, and I'm seeing it the same way. I think my recommendation is going to be that they bring in a pro to redo the floor/pan. Not cheap or easy, but this is a nice home; needs to be done right.

Yes, the water appears around the vent pipe cutout, trickles down there, but it's not coming from the vent-T. The small tubing you noticed is one of the PEX supply lines, and, yes, it looks like water collects around there, too, although I've never seen it dripping down from that area. The...

Might've been better to do this on the front-end, but, anyway... here are some photos. Usually makes things clearer (and much more interesting). Btw, the drain line goes straight back from the drain flange towards the shower entrance, passes under the cabinet that's just visible on the...

Tried to watch that vid, but couldn't get the link to work. Could you repost, plz?

Just to clarify, after a normal shower, there is usually a small puddle that appears down below—sometimes it's only a few drops. But, when I sealed the drain, added a couple inches of water, shut it off and waited, within a few minutes there was a steady trickle of water coming down in the...

I can actually see the drain connection pretty clearly from below, and everything looks great (dry) there. Maybe I'll take another at that soon, though; might be helpful to see what kind of pan was used.

With the shower off and a few inches of static water sitting there, it was steadily leaking, so I think it's probably the floor, although I agree it seems prudent to get a look at the back of the fixture/supply area.

This is pretty much what I was planning on doing, as a first attempt. I guess I wonder how long-lasting this fix might be, if it does seem to correct the problem. Any recommendations on quality bath caulk and good grout/tile sealant?

That confused me too, Bud. I think it's because my 20min test had the shower head pointed mostly at the drain. The leak(s) seems to happen when water is concentrated around the edges of the shower floor, which might happen more when somebody's in there, directing spray all around. (It is a...

Well, not great news, but not totally unexpected either. Thanks for the insight, Sparky. (and all others... didn't realize that a few more posts had just appeared!) In terms of the "sight unseen analysis," I could post some photos of the shower, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be much help...

Hi, I'm a hands-on guy in my late 30s who loves to fix/build; I have some professional remodeling experience, as well as a few years in the building maintenance industry. I don't know much about tile showers, however, and am looking for some advice on the following: I'm preparing to add another...
