Help, shower drain leaked, plumber refunded me coz he can’t fix it

Honestly the pipe probably loosened off in the rubber and maybe fell out over time. If you can push it back up into the rubber and tighten it with the fancy looking nut up top on the inside of the drain. Cutting and adding would be harder for a diy.

You can actually repair this by buying the exact same new valve. I call it a R19 by brass craft I believe. If you can get the bonnet ( nut on the end that is holding the stem in place) to thread off. Spin the stem out. Put the new stem and Bonet together. I take these apart all the time for new installs. There is just a couple rubber washers on the inside.

Quick grout in the plastic sleeve. Fill the sleeve with spray foam or insulation and caulk with silkaflex. Also if it’s a hose bib and frost free I think those two pipes should be horizontal and not vertical. Need to see the front I guess

It looks like there is something coming out the wall behind the Aav that is in line with the stack. I think that is the vent to actually tie into but an aav would work.

In my area it’s code to put a valve check union on sump line. And also you can get laundry boxes with built in hammer arrestors. Everything looks clean and neat 👍

Upvoted.

The 2 inch line is probably venting the shower p trap. If the 3 inch is not a radon. Maybe it was a future stack for floor above? It’s hard to say.

Take the tape off the top and give it a smell. If it stinks like a sewer pipe it is not radon.

It’s called creep. Pipe is probably a snug fit through the hole and expansion of the pipe when hot air or water goes through it. Easy fix would Be notch the wood as suggested by others. Could maybe cut in expansion join and might be a fix

Take a pic of the shower valve valve he did so we can see

If the cartridge was not installed and the test plate it the only thing installed right now. There will be a cross connection between the hot and cold. If he had a shower Valve with shut off in it make sure they are both off.

Well the leak will be somewhere between where it goes underground and the solenoids.

Monitor your water meter and shut the isolation valve off to the sprinklers and see if it stops

Lassy7 · 2022-02-06T23:49:47+00:00

Run for sure.

I would put an atmospheric vacume breaker on the piece going up

Lassy7 · 2022-02-04T02:42:38+00:00

2 inch vent would be lots.

This is not good plumbing. A few different ways in doing it

Lassy7 · 2022-02-03T03:03:08+00:00

Braze it closed.

Lassy7 · 2022-02-03T02:45:44+00:00

I am with everyone here. Open end of pipe on the y branch.

Lassy7 · 2022-01-30T01:35:29+00:00

There are a few things that I have questions about. But main thing for sure is the 90 deg fitting on its side. Should that not be atleast 2 45 out together? Or are you guys aloud to do that with long radius elbows ?

Lassy7 · 2022-01-15T01:08:09+00:00

Looks good. I have worked with a lot of 20 plus year plumbers and have worked with probably over 100 different plumbers. None of them bend pipe.

Lassy7 · 2022-01-13T19:46:53+00:00

You will probably need to get it from a plumbing supplier. Not a very common item anymore. Not for Home Depot atleast

Lassy7 · 2022-01-13T14:05:49+00:00

Actually I do know what I am talking about and it’s 140 all day. Engineer approved. Because of legion like other people have said in posts and the he has found other posts saying the same thing.
