    Drum Trap Leaking
    I have a drum trap below the bathtub that's leaking. I have complete access to it in the basement. It looks like the bottom of the trap, where you would crank on it with a wrench, is corroded and that's where the water is leaking from. Does any place sell replacement parts for these or am I stuck having to replace the entire thing with PVC? I checked Home Depot and Lowe's and neither of those places sell what I need. Any suggestions?

    Thanks so much!

Bathtub leaking, trap is the problem [ 1 Answers ]

We have a bathtub which leaks into the dining room ceiling every time it drains. A plumber told us to tighten the trap cover, which sort of works. However, the screw doesn't tighten well enough to stay put and gets loose. I can't remove the cover either as the screw just turns with no bite. ...
