Maybe they know something we don’t 🤣

First if original shower installer had realized the drain was directly over a joist, why didn't they just cut the joist and make a header to save the integrity of the framing. Instead they ruined a good joist and made for a terrible trap installation. Second, you are a very patient man. I hope you get paid well.

Yep, I have no idea what original installer was thinking. All I can do is make the best of it. And thank you, I have learned over the years that having patience is one of the most important traits to have in this trade.

Boy do I feel for this guy! Does it get any worse than this mess

Nice job. Why did you install the rubber ring bevel side up?

Thanks! I installed it that way so that the gasket set screw compresses it against the pipe and forms a seal. It’s the way the instructions say to install it.

Also a glue strainer is the better option

is there a standard strainer size? cuz i actually need to replace the one for the downstairs shower, it technically hasnt had one for some time due to rusting out because of well water so it leaks quite a bit into the crawl space as there isnt a strainer.

Yes, the standard size (in the US anyway) is 4-1/4” in diameter on top and then the pipe size is 2”. I have a link in the video’s description of the one I used if you are interested!

Is there any level of worthwhile repair to be made purely from above in this situation? I recognize that the way you did it is the right way, but if I don't want to cut away the ceiling below, is it still worth trying to just replace that rubber gasket?

Yes, this repair can be made from above by using a Wingtite shower drain. If you Google it you will find videos son how to install them.

My shower drain cover needs to be removed so I can clean out the hair and gunk. There are no screws, I can't pry it up and it won't twist up. Any advice on how to get the thing off?

It is hard to say without seeing it. If it looks anything like the one in this video it should just pry up.

@@andy_plumbs Thanks. The underside gasket must be key.

Should've talked owner into lowering trap so it wouldn't be a S Trap

Stuff a rag in the drain fill the pan.
