Here’s a tip: if your bathtub has a hole in it, the water isn’t really going down the drain.
That seems fairly obvious doesn’t it? I didn’t think it was so obvious. The hole in our bathtub was right by the drain, so I was thinking that maybe the water was just going into the pipe from the side.
Hindsight is not only 20/20, it’s about 1000% smarter. In reality, the only way for the water to go down the drain is for it to go DOWN THE DRAIN. To think otherwise is…stupid. Really, really stupid.
Not only has water been leaving our tub in the wrong direction, but the other day someone closed the drain. For several days, no water was going down the drain. None. This while six people were using this one tub for all their showers.
{sigh}
We’re hoping the carpet and pad in both adjacent bedrooms will be dry in the next day or so.
