Hopefully,the sub-floor was pitched,to allow any moisture that migrates down to the pan,to run to the weep holes and down the drain.Water just sitting on the pan is a major cause of a mildew problem,which is hard to eliminate.   greenetree Supporter Username: Greenetree Post Number: 7687 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 5:15 pm:        Being a veteran of the Shower Pan Wars (ee had to have ours redone 3 times), I have to ask: why a mason? The contractor doing the shower should be able to handle it. You may have a difficult time getting a mason to come do a small job like that. And, George is very right: if the person doing it is not experienced, you will be very sorry. Get a tile/bathroom contractor.   Michael K.
