We bought a building about 6 years ago and I had to rip out the shower on the top floor. The entire bathroom is a little raised, which makes me think this is an afterthought. The drain pipes run under the raised section till it attaches to the rest of the plumbing.
Lately, we've had a drip in the unit below and I think I might have done the drain a little wrong. Silicone stops the water but then it starts again after a month or so. Fortunately the tenant is leaving the apartment soon so I will be ripping out the shower again. Hopefully, I can do it right this time. That's why God made YouTube.
My question is this: does the P-trap for the shower HAVE to be underneath it? Can't the line run a couple feet before the trap? I would think that as long as the trap is between the drain and the next pipe junction, it would serve it's purpose. And what about an in-line trap; is that legal for this situation? I would think so for a shower.
