Hi.
My home was built in 1996 and recently water started leaking from the base of our upstairs shower (through to the downstairs). It's a Fiat (the metal grate has that stamped on it) but that's all I know. I'm having a hard time identifying a model or how this is assembled.
In the image, there was some beige silicone that I pried out from between the shower pan and the drain pipe. There looks to be another black seal below the silicone, but I have not tried to pry it out or go farther.
I've never really seen a drain like this before, it looks like these seals are all that stand between the shower pan and the downstairs drywall. The downstairs drywall is not damaged, so I have not cut a hole out to look - turn on the shower and water starts dripping out around the edges of an air vent directly below the shower pan.
I need help identifying this mess and some decent advice on fixing it. My gut reaction is to clean it out as best I can and break out the silicone sealant.
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Scott...
