Question

I've got a leaking shower drain that goes into the concrete slab under the house. How can I fix it?

Answer 1

You might try taking the grate off and see if the gasket is damaged or worn, if so, replace it. If it is in the drain line or trap, plan on a shower remodel. because you are going to have to tear it out to get to the drain.

Answer 2

How do you know it's leaking if it goes under your slab? The fix would depend on what the leak is, but with what you said, I'd answer that you will have to hammer up the concrete to access the leaking pipe.
