It lookes like the end of your tub is "floating". Did they leave that like that?

Thank you for the feedback. Not sure if i know enough about this topic to answer your question. By "floating," are you saying there is nothing underneath? When I tap on the bottom of the tub, front half is definitely hollow underneath where as back half is solid.... Would this cause the issue i am having?

I would think that yes it would.

I would think that yes it would.

What do you think is happening?

Hi guys, some additional update. Turns out popping noise is coming from all three sides (sides against the walls or sides with flanges) and noise is from upper portion of the tub Noise. Loudest pop is from a spot half way between overflow and drain...

It definitely needs reset.

Do you have a warranty on the workmanship? You may want go go that route.

I am not a plumber or a PRO.

I don't know why it would make the noises during certain times of the day ... I have never heard of that before. Maybe some of the plumbers on this blog will have come across it before.

A few thoughts:
- Does it make the noise when you walk around it? That might be easier to replicate for the builder.
- If not, maybe you can record it for them.
- It does not look like they screwed the tile flange to the studs. Do the instructions for that tub call for that?
- Why did they cut out the drywall above the tub? Looks like it was done after the fact. Did they notice and try to fix this issue?
- John Gayewski has indicated the tub does not look like it is appropriately supported. This is beyond my expertise, but I would raise it with your builder.

Hey! Can you update with what happened? I’m having the exact same issues and am wondering what it ended up being.
