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.
We had our shower changed and I watched when they took the tile up. There was no pan. It's just sand that they mounded up and then packed down. They put a membrane over the sand.
