Think I know the answer, but in my DIY brilliance, I think I may have created an S trap or at least an improperly vented trap...
So, ripped out a shower that had been done by a very shoddy contractor hired by previous homeowner. One of the many ugly things done was a very rough conversion of a tub to a shower leaving the 1 1/2 tub drain in place with the overflow capped and buried in the tile mud.
A little investigation proved that the 1 1/2 drain led to a 2" trap and then into the stack. While buried back in the wall/floor pretty well, I was able to remove the old trap and plumb up to my new drain with all 2" pipe as it should be.
Issue is, I moved the trap from being down in the wall/floor to right under the drain... My very crude illustrations of before and after are attached. Do I need to start over?
