Hello!
Recently my neighbor (a registered plumber) and I complete the plumbing work for my bathroom. I've been using the tub/shower for a while without incident. Last weekend I secured the 1.5" ABS drain line to my joist using 2 galvanized straps. One section of the pipe was pulled over about 1/4" toward the joist when it was secured.
Now, when the tub drain overflow takes on water, I can hear a snapping or popping noise coming from beneath the bathroom floor.
Would this be from the straps securing the pipe not allowing it to expand and contract? If so, how can I rectify it and still support the pipe against the joist?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
