We have a standing shower with a strange leak. It was built with a small tiled wall/step that the frame-less glass shower wall panel sits on. I noticed water pooling outside the door after a shower. At first I thought it was the door seal but upon closer inspection it is coming out of the grout. See pics (right where the arrow...
Yeah. When I mentioned resealing I meant I’d reseal the water facing portion of the shower with something like this 511 Impregnator Penetrating Sealer. I agree that I don’t want to seal up the water outlet.
Thanks. This sounds like an easy first step. I recently re-caulked where the pan meets the tile but not where the tile hits the glass frame. As someone else mentioned in this thread, I wonder if the water is finding a screw hole from the frame.
Oh yeah. I found this guy when I was first looking into this problem. This is a super great video. He gave me the idea that maybe I just need to use a grout sealer on the water acing portion of the tile and attempt to seal up where the water is entering.
I recently bought my first house and I noticed some rot happening beside our garage door. It appears that when the cement driveway was poured, they got too close to the siding and now water is wicking up into the wood. I figure I can cut back the siding and replace it but how do I stop this from happening again?
I was worried about sealing in water/moisture. I think I’m going to leave it until the rainy season is over and then open it up to see what is behind there. Hopefully the structure is ok.
If I leave a gap, what is to prevent water from running in behind the siding? The cement is sloped away from the house but there is no overhang so it does get wet.

Can anyone give me advice on how to solve this T1-11 siding rot? ( lemmy.zip )
