I had a drain put in the upstairs laundry room floor below our new washer. Long story, but i needed to rip it out and now am left with a small diameter hole in the subfloor AND built up mortared/tiled floor. The drain wash roughly removed from the floor and now i need to seal it as it is no longer going to be used. I DO NOT WANT TO RIP THE HOLE BIGGER IN THE FLOOR DUE TO THE AWEFUL DUST HAZZARD CREATED BY THE MOTAR.
The drain pipe runs out from the wall about 36". The drain goes down to the basement and has a vent that goes up and out the roof. I figured I could just cap the drain pipe where it goes out 36" from the wall. But as i mentioned, not a lot of room to work.
WILL SOMETHING LIKE THE EXPANDING INSULATION SEAL IT UP SUFFICIENTLY? I'M WORRIED ABOUT POTENTIAL GASSES COMING UP THROUGH THE DRAIN. NOT REALLY A CONCERN FOR ANY WATER COMING OUT OF IT.
I know this is probably very poorly explained. pleaseask specificquestions ifneeded. thanks for the help.
