Leaking Shower.

[MasterPlumbers]

I have just completed construction of a 2 story home. It appears that the shower, when on is leaking through the membrane (according to plumber) and down the frame to the garage below.

We have tested the pipes by running the shower head directly over the waste for about 30 mins. Plumber says rate of dripping increased when we ppointed the shower head at the corner.

I disaggree.

Needless to say I need help asap.

thanks

Pauliebraker,

You will find the membrane will be fractured where it turns up the wall,you can run the water all day over the floor waste but as soon as you are under the shower the water will splash on and run down the walls and down the side of the floor tiles and throught the fractured membrane against the wall and will track down the walls below the shower,you will have to remove the floor tiles and replace the membrane and retile the floor.
