So a walk in shower is a shower where you don t need to step up or tip over.
Stand up shower water on floor.
Stop up the drain and fill the pan with water and let it sit.
Water leaks can be tricky to track.
Shower curtains do not do a good job by themselves of keeping water from seeping out of the shower and on to your bathroom floor.
If your pan or floor looks good try this basic step.
Pour 1 2 cup of baking soda down the drain follow it up with 1 2 cup of white vinegar and cover the drain with a wet washcloth.
The regular shower tub combo does not count.
Let s check for the next possibility.
Let it bubble for ten minutes.
If you find some you re in for a new shower pan or shower floor to stop the leak.
How water moves is interesting.
Depending on the type of flooring in your bathroom this standing water could harm the flooring.
If no water drips out below check closely with a bright light it may not be your shower pan leaking.
If your shower is on the first floor and you have a basement you may find water dripping from the ceiling on to the basement floor.

A shower is water boiling down after you as opposed to you being submerged in water like in a bathroom.
Tiny glass dices with plastic floorings do matter.
