Our basement bathroom has been a struggle ever since we bought this house, but things were flowing smoothly (no pun intended) until my wife decided that my daughter was not adequately cleaning the shower. My DD has waist length hair and keeping drains clean is an issue. My wife popped the drain cover out to remove the hair, and by her words "the black ring came out too, so I put it back." Once she finished scrubbing the walls and floor, she turned on the shower to rinse it down.
The shower and toilet in this bathroom are elevated to accommodate the septic pump/tank system. WHen she was rinsing out the shower, I was in the adjacent basement workshop and saw water coming out onto the basement floor. After ascertaining that the leak was not in the tank or pipes, I figured out that she broke the seal for the drain itself, but because the drain is a snap-in unit, I've never dealt with one before and I don't know how to guarantee that I am installing or repairing it correctly.
The drain cover has "AS&B" stamped on it, but ASB Bathing Systems (owned by Delta) claims no knowledge, so I am not sure who manufactured it. The drain cover does not appear to be damaged (or to have had the rubber gasket ever attached physically to it), so I don't know if my wife just pushed the gasket down too far or what happened. My daughter is not enjoying coming up to borrow our shower, and I'd like to get it repaired. Any advice would be appreciated.
