We had a leak on our shower pan and long story short - we are in the process of getting the shower pan replaced and discovered it did not waterproofing material at all. The grout failed, and they also used dry wall on the curb instead of cement board which was all rotten!
We are almost sure there isn't any waterproofing done behind the tiled wall also. (they did use cement board for the walls) So far we don't have any problems with the walls but I wonder if we'd need to rip everything out to redo the entire shower? Our contractor seems to think it's fine to leave it as is and there's no need to re-do the walls. I'm a bit paranoid there would be problems but he says vertical walls are fine. Thoughts?
