Tub Drain Broke Off
Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 6:10 pm
Hi,
I am wondering if someone can help me. We have a 91 Fairmont. I was about to take a shower the other day and noticed the circular edge of the tub drain was cracking off. One little touch and the rest of it broke off. I can see the sewage pipe now through the hole in the tub. We bought a drain wrench to try to remove the rest of the threaded drain from the sewage pipe, but the drain won't budge and we keep ending up moving the actual sewage pipe a centimeter or so off center instead of the drain.
Will we have to remove our tub to handle this problem? It's a plastic garden tub, the original from 91. Will it most likely crack if it is removed? Also, is it possible there is water pooling below the tub if the crack for example was too small to notice for awhile? Or would that be negligible? We are still learning about mobile homes every day, so this is still new to us.
Any help on this would be great.
Thanks!
