A: Your shower is to be tested for
leaks for twenty four hours.
A: If there is no water directly to the
shower or a hose that will reach to
the shower from outside we will not
fill the shower. What to do in this
case you can bucket water in from
outside. the reason we do this is that
we have multiple showers to do in
a day with specific times and we can
not take the time to fill each one that
does not have the proper resources.
Lines are not being tested with a test plug or
you may wind up with a flood in your bathroom.
A: There are two ways of going about
this. First take off the strainer on the
top part of the drain, this should be
held down with two phillips head
screws. Now look down inside
and see if you see a test plug, with
a wing nut ontop. If this is the
case, just unscrew and pull out...
The other possibility is that if a
test plug was not supplied, that we
would have put a tar gasket in. This is
just a piece of tar paper with tar on
it. Take a utility knife or a steak
knife and cut the piece out. Please
be careful not to drop the gasket
down the drain.
your drain down to the bottom flange. Now
between each bolt is a little hole called a weep
hole this is how the water exits completly. At
times these holes clog and this is the most
likely case. If you can not see any obvious
objets blocking these holes, take a semi sharp
tool such as a phillips head screw driver and go
in through the weep wholes at around a 35 to 45
degree angle.
