    Dear Mr. Colletta,If you find out your shower pan liner is the problem, please visit our website at http://www.tileredi.com Tile Redi is a waterproof shower pan liner that is guaranteed for a life time not to leak. It is quick and easy to install, and ceramics and marble can be applied directly to its surface. Its great for do-it yourselfers! For a complete information package, please contact me through e-mail and I will gladly send you one.: Our second floor stall shower leaks into the first floor bedroom. It doesnt happen all of the time, and replicating the problem for a plumber isnt very reliable. Weve received three different opinions on what to do. Plumber #1 said the pans leaking. We need to rip up the tile floor and replace the pan. Plumber #2 said that the water is seeping through small breaks in the tiles grout on the walls. He recommended regrouting the tiles. Plumber #3 said that the tiles may very well be leaking, but even if they did, the water would run down and be caught in the pan. Since the water is coming through the first floor ceiling, the pan should be replaced. The pan is approximately six years old, I have no idea what type it is (weve been in the house 2 1/2 years). Our concern is the financial investment of ripping up the shower floor and then havng it retiled if indeed regrouting is all that is needed. Are all three solutions valid? Whats the best route to take? : Thanks.
