Hi TL forum! I installed an americast tub 3 years ago in my home and per the instructions did not bed it in mortar. It’s been bothering me ever since because it makes noise when you move around or step in certain spots. I spent forever leveling the ledger, but am now unsure if I needed just one ledger along the 5’ length or 2 more at the front and back along the width.
Either way, I’m considering something a little crazy. The non-drain end of the tub butts up to a wall, which on the other side is a closet. I’m considering how I could open a hole in that closet and push mortar or something under the tub to better support it for the future. Any ideas? I’m thinking I could pack structolite in with a stick of some sort, or maybe spray an expanding foam (sounds scary). Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks!!!
Mike
