I am remodling my basement bathroom. When I removed the old fiberglass shower I found the drain pretty corroded. I dug out the old trap and found that it was threaded galvanized. I tried to reomve the trap but it snapped in half . I was able to screw off the broken trap clean up the threads and put a PVC threaded adapter and a new PVC trap in. I poured the first layer of mud for my base. Then I did some research and many people say not to use galvanized threaded pipe underground. My drain pipe did have some thinning on the bottom noticable especially at the end of the threads.
The question is, should I stop, dig up the galvanized and replace or leave it and hope for the best? I am concerned because I puchased some expensive tile and fixtures for this project
