Install Shower Over Floor Drain

It is a project that yields a pretty good return on investment when you consider all the other projects you may look to complete for home remodeling.

Install shower over floor drain.

Otherwise you have to break through the concrete to run a new line for a shower stall installation. This guide explains how to install a shower pan over existing plumbing. If the subfloor is wood waterproof it before using self leveler and before spreading mortar or adhesive. Installing a shower over a basement drain is relatively a simple project.

Then install the membrane over the mortar bed and over the drain base and cut out a section over the drain hole in order to attach the center part of the drain on which the weep holes are located. This limits your ability to change the basement layout but if the stub outs are in place using them will save money and labor. Ideally you ll already have a drain roughed in with the pipe sticking a few inches above the floor. If the floor is not level the shower pan will not be able to drain properly.

It is a great remodeling project and can help to add long term value to your home.
