Leaky Shower Door driving you Crazy? This will stop the Insanity
If, after taking a shower, you find water in the basement or on the floor below, it might not be a plumbing leak. Sometimes water running down the shower wall finds its way around, into and behind faucet handles and the spout and appears as a leak in the basement or floor below the shower. To find and fix this type of non-plumbing leak, remove the handles and escutcheons (the trim) and seal the space between the valve stems and tile with plumbers putty or silicone caulk. Then replace the escutcheons and handles. The same 'seal' process should be done to the spout. If any fixture or trim is reluctant, don't force it with a regular wrench or pliers. Use a strap wrench instead, and cover all highly polished surfaces with tape or a rag first to prevent scratches.
