We are having EXTREMELY BAD moisture damage issues with our shower. The water seeps through the grout and into the backerboard, dry wall, studs, etc. We have wet rot everywhere, along with health-threatening mold. We've tried regrouting, sealing the grout, etc. If we could afford to, we would rip out and replace the ceramic tile shower with something seamless (similar to what faux marble countertops are made of). I only wish that ceramic tile would be the answer to all of our issues. It seems to be the cause!

If you can explain to me where we are going wrong, I would be happy to readdress the issue again....
