A few weeks ago we spotted the drywall in our shower swelling:
The home is about 7 years old. We're the original owners and have never experienced this before. One guy told me it's the seal on the door. So I re-siliconed it myself, but problem still persists.
Still, I called the builder to rule out an issue with the shower pan. They sent out a guy who said it was most likely the grout that needs to be resealed, and that if it were an issue with the shower pan we'd see a stain on the ceiling in the floor below.
I was not quite satisfied with that answer, so I decided to open up the drywall and take a closer look:
Unfortunately, I still could not spot the exact source of the water. What I do know is that it starts getting moist after a few minutes of showering, and that the water slowly makes its way down to the concrete.
I believe it starts about here:
I've posted on here before, but hopefully this additional information helps narrow it down.
Desperately looking for some advice or guidance. Taking guesses as well
What would you do? What's the next step here?
