aerial77_00 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Hi all, my reno is abt to complete but we have moved in. Discovered some weird thing in the bathroom : - there is a small opening at the base of the shower screen that separates the wet area & the dry area. While showering, the water from the wet area will flow out through the hole into the dry area. The previous owner designed the floor in such a way that water flows to that particular hole (dry area) coz they do not have a shower screen. We find it funny as it defeat the purpose of having the shower screen, and water flows out to the dry area. Need suggestions on what can be done to solve this. I thought of sealing up the hole but it is not practical as water will be trapped at the corner of the wet area and will not fully drain out through the water trap in the middle of the wet area. Any suggestions ?? ( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( i guess u did not redo the flooring. without doing the flooring, theres not much u can do about the water lvl. if u did, then ur ID did not do a good job. i dun think there's much u can do about the problem since you said water will gather at the corner if u seal up the hole.

Yah I nvr do the flooring ... hmm was thinking of doing a tunnel-shaped funnel linking from the opening at the shower screen base to the water trap at the dry area ... haizzz ... dunno if it'll work ... just hate to see water flows out to the dry area during shower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warrior88 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 Owner install shower screen so that water don't splash to the toilet bowl One way, to counter that would be to put additional drain hole inside the shower screen. this drain hole link to the one ouside. Then again ...all these involve hacking the floor and reintalling the toilet bowl ) finding the matching floor tile ... May cost you like $600 ~ $700 After that you can seal the hole.

ossify 1 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 this is counter-intuitive design... shower area should have a dedicated drainage instead of relying on the WC drainage. WC drainage should be present, but should be minimally used. my opinion: if it doesn't need to be wet, it shouldn't be. If you have no use for that hole, seal it up with cement and tile it up.
