I am in the process of planning a total bath remodel that will include re-building existing shower. Our shower is a 30 X 60 with a center drain and will be re-built using the Kerdi Shower System, including the Kerdi base and drain. Our home was built in the mid 60's and has cast iron drain lines and is built on a concrete slab.
I will be removing the floor tile and mortar bed but had not planned on breaking out the concrete unless absolutely needed. My questions are:
1) I am assuming that the drain cover and assembly is leaded into the system, would that be correct?
2) What is the easiest way to remove the old drain, with the least amount of disturbance to the slab?
3) Am I being totally foolish by thinking there is a way to do this install without breaking into the slab?
I am just trying to get an idea of what this drain assembly looks like prior to starting the demolition, so as not to destroy more than I need to. Any help and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
