Purchased this tub and recieved in April. Hired a plumber end of May to install. No matter what he does the tub continues to have drips from the drain body.

Gaskets that comes with the tub, tread tape, sealant, silicone or puty in place of top gasket. Nothing seems to work. I told him I don't care what under the tub looks like I just need it to hold up to a 24 hour water test.

I apologize for the photos. Its difficult to take good photos with the limited space I have. Any assistance would be great because im loosing my mild and obviously I cant return it at this point.

Wife purchased a tub and I have to change the drain locationg to be a total of 10 1/2" off the wall. Current tub drain sits 1 3/4" off the wall.

So i have two options I guess. Both I would cut the end of the existing p-trap.

#1 -

Coupling + section of pipe + 90 + ptrap.

Or

#2

45+ small section of pipe+ p trap

From my understanding less fitting the better so I assume the option 2 but want some plumbers options. This is an alcove tub but it has a drain like a free standing. Where the tail pipe goes into a freestanding rough drain.

I have had this towel inside the drain line for about a month as we have been doing some mold remediation on the tub wall before I close up. I noticed today as I was about to put up the drywall that the towel is soaked. I put a tiny level and its pitching properly. Is it just whicking moisture from the vanity behind this one? The towel isnt push in all the way.

When I googled a back 2 back vanity they are plumber in differently. Is this done improperly?

Second question..

I just removed this second of drywall today basically to make sure mold didnt spread. And 3 flys came out of the wall. How would I check for a crack? I dont see anything and google isnt vary helpful.
