Hi,
I am planning on installing a walk in shower in my basement. The area I am planning on putting it is an existing sauna with a cast iron floor drain which appears to be 2". Based on the visual appearance of the drain, it seems to have had better days (see attached pictures below).
I want to do this right and don't want a new shower with an old rotten drain. I was thinking of tearing up the floor surrounding the drain, cutting out a portion beyond the trap and replacing it with a flexible coupling and 2" ABS trap. This would allow me to install a Kerdi drain, sloped mortar bed, etc.
Any suggestions as to how to deal with this? Am I on the right track? Are there any other factors I should consider?
Thank you in advance!
