Hi,

I'm remodeling an upstairs bathroom, have demo'd the old (concrete) tub/shower and am preparing to install a jetted tub and freestanding shower, either Kerdi, Wedi or maybe Tile-Redi pan. I have to move and extend the existing shower bath drain, and I’m concerned about causing a flood to the 1st floor when I cut the connection to the P trap, with the water that is now standing in the drain. Can anyone tell me how much water I can expect to drain out, and does anyone have any tricks/tips for removing the standing water?

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
