Question: We discovered a leak in the shower of our bathroom. The joist underneath it is rotten. We currently have to jackstands holding it up. The shower has dropped almost 1" and the bathroom floor tile is cracked. We also have been told that we need to take up the tile on the shower floor and replace the basin where the leak is. How do I fix the joists? Can I level the shower? What is an estim,ate on having someone repair the basin and replace the tile?
