Real voices
“I am seeing some leakage around the outside of my standing shower. I think some caulk might fix it but not sure. The runner for the doors is loose”
“I have a leak from the shower door. I believe the yellow line is where the leak originates(my assumption). the second yellow line shows what i believe is the flow along the corner of the tray and the tile. My guess is it flows along the two paths in the image and makes its way to the wall(and hence the damage to the wall) and the molding(and hence the water damage to the molding)”
