We just had a bathroom remodeled in our 102 year old home. We've identified a number of issues, and are trying to separate the "just ugly" from the "genuinely unsound".
I would appreciate an experienced perspective on the odds that this shower drain is structurally stable and watertight. I've attached a few photos of what it looks like looking up from the dirt-floor crawlspace below, and images captured upstairs during the construction process.
If the drain a no-go, can you help me pinpoint the specific evidence I can cite if I want to appeal to the general contractor's better nature to fix it? (GC has not yet seen these photos, and did not enter the crawlspace during the job.)
For reasons that may be apparent, I don't trust the waterproof integrity of the shower pan liner as built. I do not know whether they pierced the membrane with the screws they used to attach the wood chips, but I did confirm there is no preslope under the membrane.
I will be addressing other issues with this build in a separate post, as there are some additional complications there. Any insight on the drain integrity and potential workable fixes much appreciated.
Thanks so much to all the folks willing to help someone they've never even met
