The shower pan liner is the waterproof layer under the tile that catches any water that gets through. Here is the Lincoln Park guide.
The layer
The liner is laid over a sloped base and turned up the walls behind the tile.
The drain
A two-part clamping drain seals the liner so water flows out instead of leaking down.
The test
A flood test before tiling confirms the pan holds water.

Before you start
For Lincoln Park homeowners, first identify whether the symptom is isolated to one fixture or appears across the home. Note when it happens, what fixtures were running, and whether the main shutoff is accessible. Photos and model numbers help a professional make a faster, more accurate recommendation.
A simple decision checklist
Before approving work in Wayne County, ask what caused the problem, which repair options were considered, what access or permit work is included, and how the finished work will be tested. Confirm the scope, materials, cleanup, warranty, and price in writing.
When to stop DIY work
Stop troubleshooting if water is near electricity, sewage is entering the home, a gas appliance is involved, a pipe may be frozen inside a wall, or the repair requires opening a structural surface. Shut off water when safe and call a qualified professional.
