Shower Creaking?
Question:Can anyone explain possible ways to fix a creaky shower floor. I have a 1-piece shower than creaks when you stand or shift your weight near the drain. I'm moderately hand (just finished a basement), but know nothing about plumbing. Thanks!
Answers:
Determine if its the shower squeaking on the floor, or the floor boards themselves.If it's the shower on the floor, and depending on the type of shower base you have, you might be able to drill a few 1/4 holes in the sub floor from below(be careful not to go through the shower pan), and use 'Great Stuff' expanding foam. The foam will expand, and harden, stopping the squeak.
The shower floor should be sitting on a base of polystyrene and there will be a hole in the base for the drain.
Without pulling the whole thing out , just to have a look sounds like a lot of work for what could be no result.
it sounds as if you might have a loose floorboard under the shower you would have to try and reinforce it from underneath, but can you get to it?
