    Basement rough in shower
    I am planning to install a bathroom in my basement. It has a cement floor with the rough in for the shower and toilet. I was wondering if they would have put a trap under the cement floor for the shower or not. How can I check.

    Remove the cap from the shower pipe and pour some water in the drain.. say a half-gallon... then look in the drain with a flashlight. If water is present... so is a PTRAP... :)
