Hi Baron,

I'm installing a shower door now, so I feel like I'm up on them now. My
first question is why you think it's the shower door as opposed to the
many other ways a shower can leak?

It did not leak with the old shower door but does with the new one. I
replaced the shower head and the fixtures as well but not the tile or shower
floor.


How much water leaks to the next floor?

After a 15 min shower, about 3/4 of a cup at the door and about 1/2 cup
at the panel.

If I'm finding a leak, I take my cordless and an 1/8" drill bit and drill
through what seems to be the most-distressed point. Sometimes make a few
holes. It's not an exact science.

Does your showerhead have a pattern that all hits within the shower when
pointed where a person might stand?

It does not appear to be so when no one is in the shower but definitely
when someone is in it.

If the showerhead has dingleberry flows on it, I'd start by replacing it.

Do a stress test. Let it run for 15 minutes, and see if it remains
water-tight. If it does, then do another stress test where you take a
15-minute long shower. (Make it more fun by asking the wife to do the
first half, and then you the 2nd.)

I will try this first. Replacing the head is easy enough but will take
some convincing on my wife's part as she likes the look of the showerhead.

Thanks,
Baron


Good luck,
