I'm wondering whether I should install side gutters, a French drain or perhaps I have a cracked pan under the shower floor. My house is 18 years old. Any suggestions where to start? Thanks.
That shower floor should have a thick membrane that runs up the wall 3-4inches so if it contains your shower water how is water getting through it in reverse. Any wet floors in adjacent rooms, baseboards looking warped? Is the shower a typical tile shower in a courtyard with a door and a ledge or is it a Roman shower that you could roll a wheelchair in to?
