From the Forum: Troubleshooting a Leaking Shower

Homeowners are worried that tearing out their newly installed shower might be the only solution to a water issue. Water is soaking the joists directly below and the water has to be coming from the shower. There appears to be a gap between the wall and the shower floor and it doesn’t look like an easy fix. What should they require from their contractor to fix the problem?

Please chime in with your advice.
