Hello home improvement folks!
I hope it’s ok to ask for help about my condo since it’s not a house. It’s my first property so I’m learning a lot.
This weekend I opened the showe drain to remove the accumulated after the shower became slow to drain. While cleaning the drain I noticed it was cracked. I thinking about putting some jb weld, flex seal or caulking as a temporary fix to stop the leak. I’m worried about leaking into my downstairs neighbors. I would like to replace this part of the drain, however I’m having a hard time finding information on the different types of shower drains. It seems like most drains are screwed-in, but the green stuff is making be think that mine might be glued. If anyone has some advice or resources I could look at I would be super grateful.
I’m no plumber, but that doesn’t look like it should be glued, and why isn’t it metal?
From what I saw, I think you’re right that it shouldn’t be glued, but who knows what the plumbing guys had in mind. Talking to the other owners of the building, it seems like plumbing was a common weak point amongst the units.
