Tub on slab exposed to ground?
I purchased a house a few months ago. This house has a slab on grade. I was trying to figure out where a musty smell was coming from in my master bathroom. I found that both my garden tub and my shower are exposed to about 2'X2' of ground underneath. This house is only 5 years old. Is this normal or just a shortcut that the contractor took. Should this be sealed or what? I have never seen this, but can't recall ever seeing underneath a tub or a shower on a slab.
I am not convinced that this is the source of my problem.
What would it take to get up to code.
Thanks in advance
