I had a handyman redo my walk-in shower a few months back, and I just recently noticed nearby water damage to the hallway floor (on the other side of the shower wall). I cut back the drywall a bit and found some mold. Originally I wasn't sure if he just did a poor job of caulking between the wall and floor, or if there was an actually leak in the shower pan.
My question is pretty simple -- after cutting back the drywall, I found 2 spots in the plastic liner for the shower pan that are cut (see photos). Is this what caused the problem, and do I need to have the shower floor torn out and redone? or, is this normal and it was only leaking due to a poor caulking job?
Trying to assess my problem! Thanks so much.
