It would be way easier if he was closer cause we could just fix it.

 

That looks like a floor drain to me , as I said , I've never seen a shower drain where you could still see the rough-in pipe .

Does the shower drain slowly or stink from the drain ?

 

Unfortunately , if these are pics , they aren't showing up on my phone .

 

Good luck Keith...

 

Looks like you can unscrew the finished drain cap.

If you remove that and plug the drain , you could fill the pan with water and you would know if it is bypassing the drain .

 

FWIW , your drain is CSA approved .

Lol

 

Exactly , the two part drains sandwich the EPDM layer into the drain so any water that gets through the grout will still wick into the drain .

 

It is a shower drain...Its an Oatey 2 part slab drain

 

That's good news .

 

Says it meant to be used for slab applications where a membrane isn't required

Interesting

 

who knows man... you never know what do it yourselfers will do

 

sounds fucked to me... never heard of not having some sort of protection .

 

As I said , I've never seen one like that , but there it is .

Good find .

All of our DWV piping out here is ABS , not PVC , maybe that is the difference .

In any case , I still think you should remove the finish piece , plug the drain and fill the pan , then you can see if the pan holds water .

 

that'd be like goin' bareback with a hooker
