shower drain

I’m adding a full bathroom in my basement. The plumbing was roughed in, and a toilet was already added by the previous owner. I just want confirmation on what I need to do to complete the shower drain/vent plumbing. I believe all I need to do is add a P trap to the 2” drain line in the...

Hi Everyone, We are in the middle of repiping our entire house with PEX. The work seems to be rough and on the sloppy side. Some furnitures were not covered and scratched up, there were dust all over the place, on my closet mirrors and a shelf full of clothes. They have taken apart our laundry...

In the midst of tackling this shower drain in our basement. We live in Pittsburgh, PA if it helps. The house was built in the late 50s so I know this cast iron was a popular plumbing material at that point. The shower was very rough - exposed copper plumbing throughout and cinderblock for the...

Bathroom remodel and not only is the center drain on Schlueter 48 x 48 right on top of double floor joists, the mortar bed had to be removed and now my toilet waste flange (which rotted away) is extraordinarily high and right against the joist with an offset flange. The flange needs to be...

I've got a leaking shower drain in an apartment building. I only noticed while exploring a crawl space. The drain is an Oatey Casper's SBCCI ES. I get the impression it's glued in place (purple residue visible in the photos) and cannot unscrew so I'm left scratching my head...do I just caulk...

I am remodeling a small guest bathroom and have no option to enlarge it. I am thinking a curbless shower would feel larger and may allow a couple of inches more room in the shower. With a glass wall and sliding glass door dividing the shower from the rest of the bathroom. With to old shower...

Im Remodeling the bathroom in my upstairs apartment. My house was built in 1905, I purchased it in 2016, i don’t know anything about the history or when/ how many times this bathroom has been remodeled. I had hired someone to do the job, but with the whole corona thing he has since stopped...

Ok, first post so here it goes: Our shower drain is slow. An enzymatic cleaner typically clears up the issue, at least for a few weeks. Does anyone know if living with a slow drain for periods of time could present an issue for drain fly infestations? Seems like online articles say so...

We had a leak from the second floor bathroom into our downstairs. Because of cabinet access to our piping inside the wall, I can see that it looks as though our liner was overflowing. When we block the drain and add water, eventually the leak flows past what looks to be the liner. Our shower...

I’m looking to totally renovate my bathroom with my handy father. I’ve slowly demolished the shower wall but got stuck with the shower floor, which coincidentally enough is a big reason for the remodel. Seems I'm told that lead was poured between the floor and drain being that this was probably...

We see this is a common issue on quite a few posts however ours is unique: Our new install of a prefab shower pan has the drain coming dead center of a joist. Today we spent 8 hours (literally) searching for answers. We found boxing and sistering and understand them all however if you take a...

Sometimes I will get a call about a leak showing up in a ceiling below a bathroom. What I find when checking with a moisture meter may be that it's right under the shower drain. Sometimes those drains were installed with plumbers putty, and over time it' loosens up, especially with people in...

Hi, I'm a first time poster here, but I've used this site for years and have gained a lot of great information from all of you! I'm redoing my basement bathroom shower on concrete slab and using information on your other threads, I removed a lead/oakum shower drain. I used the method of...

I am re-modeling the lower level of my house, and expanding the existing half-bath to include a walk-in shower where the washer and dryer were in the utility room. North is left in the picture from before re-modeling began: To that end, I removed the wall between the half-bath and utility room...

Hi all, I'm back for more advice. At the moment, I have a roughed in drain that is 17 1/8 x 18 inches to the center of my drain, from my studs. I'm having a world of trouble trying to find a square/neo-angle/rounded stall in the vicinity of being about 36x36 inches in size. I currently have...

Second attempt here. My last post got zero replies. Please help! I’m a DIYer trying to renovate my second floor bathroom. Not totally inexperienced, but also not totally experienced. There’s an existing 2-inch threaded copper pipe that used to receive the old shower drain. I knocked all about...

Hello all I have a shower with a cast iron P-trap that is leaking. At first i was hoping to cut out the old trap and splice a new abs one in with a rubber coupling, but the trap arm is not long enough to have a nice square cut with enough material for a coupling. I might get 1" of usable...

Hi - what would be the best way to connect into the vent stack without using a T connector. I'm using a Saniflo pump to get the water up. Just shower water - nothing heavy duty. This is a garage concrete floor. Thanks!
