Basement shower stall
We have a basement shower. We have just finished demolishing it to the concrete floor and water pipes. We had to do this because of water leaking from the base and discovered extensive mold damage.
We would like to install a premade shower pan. However the existing drain sticks up 2 1/2 inches above the concrete floor. The drain is not PVC but I would guess iron? Or could it be lead? The house was built in 1964. We have been in for 2 years. My question is: Will I be able to install a ready made shower base or will I have to make my own using concrete/tile etc? |

Here is what I told a guy a few hours ago. https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/constr...th-259730.html That pipe won't be lead but sounds like cast.

Salk.. first thing you will need to do is to determine if the drain pipe lines up in a way that works with a pre-fabricated shower floor.
Check out Swanstone Products for best options and measurements. If your old drain lays out so it is lined up or near to where the new drain will go then pop back and we can discuss how to install the drain. If your old pipe doesn't line up then you will either need to chop up the floor a bit and locate the new drain to proper placement or you will need to custom build a shower pan... Check out this link for more info. On custom shower pans... How to Build a Shower Pan Easiest all in all will be to get a base that has drain location closest to your layout and then chat with us so we talk you through relocating... Let us know... MARK |
