Good luck

See page is continuous now.

Drain is good poured at least a quart of water down and went right down.

Have call into Mike Scott and hoping he comes today and it is simple fix without ripping out floor of shower.

I always call the warranty women. I tell them I know this isn't under warranty but what person does she recommend calling. I also thank her for her patience dealing with sometimes impatient people day after day.

Those women have always, always, always been a source of help to us.

You might have a hairline crack in the stucco on a wall or around a window somewhere near the shower. Water can enter the wall from outside and collect in areas along the baseboards or drywall or in your case shower floor. Look closely, these cracks can be hard to find.

Observation :Is the shower valve control on the same side of the of the water problem that you see appearing ? It may be that when you shower..... water is getting behind esscussion plate and seeping into wall cavity... accumulating.... You might want to use another shower in the home and observe to see if the water problem stops ... if it stops leaking with out use.... then use it again ...and see see the problem appearing....then call your plumber.

I have heard water drippings in my shower, then I found water in the washing machine. The washer company said it might be a pressure surge in the houses fresh water.

So dry up the shower and put a bag over the shower head with a paper towel in it.
In the morning see if shower pan is dry and if paper towel is wet.
If so it is a pressure issue.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the description of where it's leaking, but sounds like a shower pan leak to me.

Rain seeps under concrete slab ?

Well, he didn’t explain what type of shower he had pan or tiled. Agree if pan the first thing I would check be drain socket seal. If tile I would sop up water, then using magnifying glass see if I could see the seepage, cracks, and look along walls where it meets floor. IMO this would tell if it’s pressure leak or rain water leak?

It keeps seeping 24/7 so think it is either pipe or coming from outside.

Called plumber this am and gave me rates and said they would rip up the floor looking for leak but gave me another suggestion.

A local company called Sleuth has a device that will find the source of the leak so that the plumber can than fix. They do this for $ 300 unless they find nothing and need to go on the roof at which point you get to pay more. They either find source or do not charge for their services.

So tomorrow leak detection will be done.

O contra, water can wick up through crack in slab when water is standing even or higher than slab especially where the slab meets the framing at bottom.

Water travels in strange ways which is why we agreed to pay $ 300 to find the source of the leak and not have house broken up looking for it.

You may want to notify your homeowners insurance company before doing any tearout work. Most of any damage to the house will be covered by insurance.

say your resolution. You could also dig with a small shovel outside the wall and see if the soil is damp.
Could also turn water off to home and see what happens. Good excuse to go on vacation for a couple of days to see if it dray's out.
Guess I would also turn off lawn sprinklers too.

Soil would be damp with all of the rain we have been having.

Tomorrow should tell the tale with the leak detection company
