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.
Yeah that should be metal or at least thick PVC. I think I’d mix up some epoxy and paint it liberally on the broken parts with a Popsicle stick. And I’d epoxy over the green area and make that slope into the pipe. There’s no pressure here so you’re just trying to prevent leaks and direct gravity.
It’s some kind of plastic, but I can’t tell the specific plastic type. Someone else suggested epoxy to me, I already added some silicone. I might add a layer of epoxy as a belt and suspenders approach.
