The saga continues. The bathtub finally installed. The tilers finished the walls b/c between the two jobs, I just could never get it done. I have been showering for several weeks, very happy for the hot water.
Today, I decided to take a bath. While in the tub, I noticed the water kept going away and at first thought it was because the drain may not be tight enough and water was leaking out. Then I stepped out into a flood! The water I think is coming from UNDER the tub, not near the drains or overflow, those areas are dry. I hadn't put the last row of small floor tiles back in thank goodness.
The tub is on a concrete slab. The plumbing done by "professionals", at least the part under the tub. My daughter in law did the just the shower fixtures. I am loathe to pull the tub out AGAIN!. Remember that the plumbing professionals dented the first one didn't put the stringer in properly, left bare dirt under the tub not to mention the huge mess!
Any ideas why it did n't leak when showering and why seemed like all the bathtub water came up after the bath?
Is this going to involve ruining my tile tub surround? Any magic spells to prevent me pulling the whole thing out again???????
