Sound like a stupid question but I have a leak from my shower drain that is getting into my AC ductwork one room over (yes duct work is in the floor) and I got one quote for a starting price to tear out tub and tear out slab as needed to replace what is assumed to be a rusted pipe.
A leak detection specialist is on the way out to try to pinpoint where leak is but receptionist on phone said something about possibly being a leak in the “shower pan”. This is just a standard fiberglass tub mounted on the foundation with a shower head mounted on the wall like you have when you use a shower curtain. I didn’t think a tub would have any need of a shower pan. House was built in 1980 if that helps regarding original construction methods for the time.
