shower Drain?

pastfast125 · Dec 21, 2005

If I'm corrrect, a shower has to have a trap right? If this shower is in a basement, is hte trap just going to be recessed into the concrete floor, then cemented over? And for toilets, do you have to install a trap, or do they somehow have one built in? Thanks in advance.

Yes, there is a trap in the floor for the shower. Toilets have an integral (built in) trap.

Everywhere you have drain pipe running you will have to jack up the floor to run pipe.

by "jack up" ur just saying I gotta smash it up and run the pipe under it right? Or actually IN it not really UNDER it.

"Jack up" as in jackhammer.............

pipe

Where you connect the pipe to will determine whether it is "in" or "under" the concrete, but under is always better.

Sorry Cookie, if it was leaking under the pan, plunging didn't stop it. Well, maybe if there is a hole in the drain line that normally wasn't under water when it drains properly. But then, that is a different problem. My unprofessional opinion.
