I'm terribly frustrated. I've already replaced sheetrock (green kind)...btw, this is an interior room in basement. This is a Neo-angle Kohler/Sterling vikrell shower kit with glass walls/door. We've taken it down once to put up sheetrock after poor installation first time (by a plumber no less!). Bought new expensive surround material at a lumber/hardware store, put it up with good adhesive caulking. Can't see any leaking anywhere but in one corner. Used expensive new kind of caulking (NDP stuff) for all seams and where frame meets pan threshold. Pan was secured properly best I can tell to stud walls, then I put sheetrock over lip of pan but not touching threshold...about 1/4" gap. Surround material over that. No leaking on walls, etc. I even put vent grids on back two walls next to floor (concrete) so air could get under shower pan (it is designed to not have to be set in mortar). I can feel moisture near corner where a thin stream/leak is showing on inside of room. I don't know anything else to say to describe my frustration and problem. Is there any solution to this problem? The plumber cut into the basement floor to meet the sewer drain lines...has proper grade, but left about a 1' square hole with gravel in it for shower drain. Could that have anything to do with moisture?
