Hello,
I am brand new here, learned of this site through John Bridge's Tile Forum.
I have ripped out my old shower which had a fiberglass pan and planning on putting in a new mud floor with Kerdi drain. I have a concrete slab with PVC drain under slab.
Let me say, other than knowing how to glue PVC together I know "NOTHING"
about plumbing. The reason I am here looking for help is I want to get my Kerdi drain lower, as it is, would be approx. 3" above slab. While possible, it will create very thick mud floor and will raise shower higher than I want it.
I have already cut down drain pipe as far as I could. There is only a little left before it is attached to a larger pipe and starts turning. I am attaching pictures to try and help my explanation.
My question is, can I fairly easily rework this drain or is it going to be a major debacle?
One final note, it is approx. 12" from top of pipe to where the drain appears to make a complete turn and there is a little standing water at this part.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
