No damage yet to the floor or ceiling below, but it needs to be addressed. For the longest time I assumed it was water the ran down the door, or leaked out from under the door where the seal was damaged. I recently did a major recaulking overhaul of all the areas in the shower and I'm confident that I did a good job. Still a small leak with pooling water outside the door. After replacing my leaking shower (no evidence of any water damage behind the wall with the old or new shower cartridge), I again inspected and improved shower caulking inside and outside, and I replaced the door seal at the bottom figuring that would fix it. Still have a small leak. Leaks about a shotglass of water after every shower, which runs and pools up outside the shower door.
I need to isolate the leak. I might plug the floor drain, and dump a bucket of water in the shower to see if I an see air bubbles in the floor. I cannot think of any other way to isolate the leak. I don't think it's behind the wall based on where the water drains from and to the floor outside the shower door.
I'm convinced now I must have a pin hole leak in the floor of the shower. Thus far, it seems to run out in a pin hole between the wall and shower where they meet at the floor. I have no idea if or how much possible damage may be under the shower itself. No real way of figuring that out absent drilling holes and inspecting. Not sure how I feel about that option.
I'm convinced now I must have a pin hole leak in the floor of the shower. Aside from tearing out the whole thing, I'm considering the clear Flex Seal spray product, and hitting the whole shower floor. If I do that, I may need to add more texture to the floor with an aftermarket product as well.
Has anyone used this Flex Seal product or have any other products to suggest. Or ways to address this?
