Placement of longer tub is a problem

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jul 17, 2013Do it correctly and dig up the slab and move the pipes. Raising the tub on a platform may sound like a great idea, but if your drain pipes are moving at funny angles and not properly configured, there will be a time in which they will begin to plug with hair and soap scum. Once that occurs you will not want to see what it will take to fix the slow drain. Moving the pipes are really not all that hard considering all the other work your attempting.Helpful Reply

Jennie Gaskin on Jul 17, 2013Thanks! I guess we knew that but were hoping there was an easier fix. We'd rather get a professional for something like this, but it's so hard to find somebody way out here in the boonies. We've been very fortunate with our plumbing, nothing more than the occasional leak under the kitchen sink in 35 years. Maybe because plumbing the slab was one of the things we left to a professional when the house was built.Helpful Reply

Mishler Plumbing on Jul 19, 2013Woodbridge nailed it. It is always worth doing it the right way up front. "Shortcuts" ALWAYS lead to problems. It really is not that big of a job compared to the rest of the project.Helpful Reply

Jennie Gaskin on Jul 20, 2013I agree. Now let's see if I can get my husband to agree to put it in the master bath. That will only require that we move a bedroom wall back 12" and close up a shallow hall linen closet. Maybe he'll consider that easier!Helpful Reply
