I thought i had this fixed, but apparently not. Last night my wife was showering, and water was coming down in the pantry in the kitchen below....
I have attached a picture of the shower floor. I tried to put some silicone caulk around the "gasket" on the shower floor. I call it a gasket, but it is a plumbing fixture that has a ring that sits on top of the shower floor, and a 1.5 in pipe attached sits on top of the drain out. If I press down on the floor near the gasket, I can see where the gasket and the floor separate, thus allowing water to leave through a different avenue than what we want.
I have the pantry area opened up, so I can see the P Trap for the shower. I watched the water running down the side of it last night while the wife showered, before I ran upstairs and told her to end the shower! I am thinking of cutting a board and putting it under the trap, and having it end on the shelf below (about 18 inches). If I make the board 20 inches, and jam it in there, hopefully it might push the arrangement up in the shower. If I can do that, what should I put under that ring? Plumber's putty? Silicone? Should a rubber gasket or something else be under there as well?
Thanks for reading.
