Leaking shower stall
Your guidance so appreciated.

Johnchip on Oct 04, 2016I am confused as to where it is leaking to. Also why is it 'occasional? I might suggest you 'mask off' various areas of the stall with plastic and duct tape then force the issue and see if you cannot locate the specific area it is leaking into before going whole hog. Also, are yous sure it is not at faucets or on the base or outside of the door?Helpful Reply

Cwh6899259 on Oct 05, 2016Was plumbers tape used on your shower head connection? I bought a house once only to discover that when the shower was on the water oozed out this connection hugging itself to the pipe and back inside the wall where it continued to follow the pipe and spread out under the floor lino and into the master bedroom closet. Took off shower head and found there was no plumbers tape, taped and screwed the shower head back on. Bob's your uncle never leaked again.Helpful Reply
