A little background - the spout was loose from the garden tub and ended up getting turned which broke the copper line inside the spout that was soldered to the rough-in plumbing. I've never seen an instalation like this (its not a typical size copper line i'm familar with) so I was hoping...

Ok, well I attempted to silicone the black rubber seal but it still is leaking! Would it be a bad idea for me to remove the rubber seal entirely and take a peek? I am not familar with this seal and am not sure if it requires a special tool or not to install. The pan is made by a company...

Hello Plumber1--- Yep, thats the way I identified the leak. There are no cracks or anything in the pan, it appears to be leaking around the black gasket when the shower has weight on it. I was advised to put silicone around the gasket and try again. However, there appears to be 4...

There is a spot about a half inch down on this same wall that is missing grout on a tile. I looked with a flash light to see if the wall behind was wet and it didnt' appear so. I fixed this area and hasn't reoccured yet. What concerns me is that a plumber was recently out to the home and...

Hello, I am needing some advice, I recently purchased a home about 3 months ago and here recently noticed some rotting occuring on the baseboard near the shower. In additional to the rotting on the baseboard the door jamb also connected to the wall was swelling to the point the door wouldn't...
