Hi. I have a Mustee 32x48 shower pan which is leaking water down thru a recess light fixture in my kitchen below. I suspect it is the doughnut gasket around the 2" drain pipe, as the ceiling area where I am seeing the leak is right below it. The shower pan itself, while scratched up a little from use, shows no signs of visible cracks.
The dougnut had been raised a little high for a few months to the point where the strainer would not sit perfectly flush. Then the other day the leak started (or it got worse enough to where we just noticed it). So after reading a little, I decided to tamp the gasket back down to where it should be, so I can now have the strainer sitting flush. I still have a leak, but it doesn't seem to be as bad as before.
Are these gaskets known to go bad? Mine is about 3yrs old, and my water is a little hard, as I get a lot of calcium/lime builduo on my shower head (I think that's what it is!).
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Thanks
Eric
