I was down in my basement the other day. I noticed water leaking onto the basement floor, coming from the area where our shower is located. So, I went upstairs to see if I could find a place where the caulking was ruined, but couldn't find any problems. I did notice some wall tiles (about 5) that seemed loose, meaning if I pushed on them they had some "give." Would enough water be able to get through those loose tiles? Enough that it would leave a small puddle on the floor?
This only happens when we take a shower, but not everytime. It does not happen when the tub only is used.
I really don't know where the water is coming from. What is the most common cause? Caulking failure, wall tile leaking, main tub drain leaking, overflow for the tub leaking, pipe going to the shower head leaking?
Also, if I replace the loose shower wall tiles, what kind of adhesive should I use? Is there special adhesive for shower tiles, maybe waterproof adhesive?
Thanks for your help.
