Hello All,
I may have a dumb question. I have what appears to be a neo angle shower that is brass in color. I have been battling leaks with it since i move into the house. My question, is the inside of the shower supposed to be caulked around the pan and the wall panels?
I keep getting conflicting answers. It was caulked when i purchased the house and later on experienced a leak in both corners. I recaulked the inside (as it was prior) now i can tell that there is was in on the drain pan lip that is trapped by the caulk inside. It does not appear to be a lot of water; but the caulk i applied is wet in a particular spot, so i removed a bit, and to my dismay a bit of water kept coming through where the wall and the drain pan meet.
I do not notice any leaks in the plumbing or behind so i assume somehow somewhere water is getting into the track system and leaking into the lip of the drain pan than has no where to go? Could that also be the reason the corners were leaking (because the inside was caulked)?
The first image shows where the leaks on the outside were occurring. I believe those are all fixed.
The second photo of inside shows where the caulk seems to maintain wet; and after removal of it, water was coming out from behind (not a lot of water, but some).
