Hello
Recently my brother in law and stepfather have replaced tub on second floor in our house.
Here is the whole story. We used to have a bath there and now they've decided its old and change it to something fancy.
New shower/tub has no overflow pipe, it has only drain.
The drain pipe was also moved about 4 feet away from original one.
Now water drains very slowly and actually when water is on drain can't keep up and shower/tub fills up with water.:confused:
What I've found out is that the trap from old tub was left in place but they put a new one under the new shower, now piping looks something like on image below.
I've read a few topics on here and elsewhere. I am pretty sure I will tell them to remove one of traps that for sure :)
Could it be that not enough air ir getting there because of poor ventilation?
How can we solve the problem ?
