I found a leak in our first floor shower drain. When I cut the ceiling away to get a look at it, I found the previous owners presumably had the same problem and literally put a tray in the ceiling to catch the water before they sealed it back up. Classy.
The leak occurs between the PVC drain and the brass drain fitting in the fiberglass unit.
It's a real bear to get to from the underside - HVAC supply and return ducts, copper supply, and floor joists to name a few obstacles.
With that in mind, any way to address this from the shower floor? We actually plan to replace the shower unit within a year or so, at which time the problem will be addressed for sure - but I'd like to do something now so guests can use the shower without a bucket hanging from the ceiling in the finished basement... Not classy.
Some pictures attached. Thanks in advanced for any help.
