The tile shower drain is difficult and far from the tricky part is hidden within the shower pan. The thing is the entire shower pan is made to route all of the water towards the drain. All of the water includes the part that leaks through the ground. That occurs because tile flooring will never be waterproof. Water eventually ends up passing through the ground.
The drain includes holes which are on two layers. The very best layer it is simple to see. The low layer is lower within the floor.
Here's how it operates.
Normally the drain is connected to the drain pipe therefore the drain base sits directly on the subflooring. Then you definitely build an essential layer. It is a sloped mortar layer that slopes at approximately 1/4 inch per feet from the bottom of the drain on the shower walls.
Then over that sloped layer is installed the actual trick to some shower floor. A water-resistant sheet membrane is placed within the sloped mortar after which attached directly on the surface of the drain base. That lining is sealed towards the base therefore the water that causes it to be towards the lining is routed to the low drain holes.
Following the lining is equipped in most the corners, that is tricky, the following layer is installed.
The following layer is yet another mortar layer that's the bottom for really lounging the ground tiles.
Hold on...
Wouldn't the mortar stop in the lower drain holes? How may you have drain holes which are lower in the "solid" masonry floor?
