Hehehehe ROFL 
Obviously I'm not Garrett, I'm much better looking 
Either two things are the problem. A simple plumbing leak, or a shower tray leak.
The first is not too bad depending on access to the plumbing but the second is a like "sell the cobra" type expense, if it's been leaking for some time.
The leaky shower can be a huge problem depending on what the top floor is made of. If It's timber which would be normal for a residence then the timber floor can just rot away over time, resulting in a major repair to the floor.
By major repair I mean removal of the shower base, usually tiles, cement base and shower tray if there was one. ( prolly a galvanised tray and it's rusted away). Repair the rotted floor/bearers/joists and then totally rebuild the shower again.
Not nice Craig... 
But then you're pretty tall so you could prolly stand on the lower floor and take a shower on the top floor anyways.
