Tub/shower leak – water behind the tub surround and in the tub flange then leaks on floor?
I moved into the house that I built. The bathroom has a tub combination or shower. I installed plastic tub surround with 5 rooms. Setup was erledigt.Irgendwie water professionals is behind the surround, collect in the flange on top of the bathtub, looking for a low point and escape. It occurs only when the shower is running. Some water is also mounted on the floor under the Wanne.Ich thought my work was well on the tightness around, so I called the plumber back. They could no leaks in pipes and says there must be a problem with the curb or putty sein.Also my work, I bought a roll of tape in a clear and tightly sealed at all joints between the tub and surround and surround. The leak continues. I do not water seal is the combination of past and tape bekommen.Könnte water out of the tub spout? It is a Moen with a diverter that you have to lift for a shower. Could a water leak under pressure along the wall on the tub flange?

take the trim ring off from the handle. The big round one. Run the shower and look inside the hole for dripping water. Slide the trim ring away from the wall on the shower arm and look inside there with the shower running. Make the hole bigger if you have to but not so big the trim won’t cover it. If it only leaks when the shower is running I think it is either leaking from the shower head somewhere or in the riser going up the wall to the shower head or from the top of the shower valve. If the tub spout isn’t on right it could be blowing back from there when the shower runs but if the water comes from up high I doubt this is it.
