What is the easiest way to install a shower trap after the fact

Question

Bad odor coming from shower drain. Idiot who installed shower did not put a trap in apparently. What is the simplest way to correct this? Can anyting be done other than jackhammer floor?

Answer 1

it may be easy.  depending on how much room you have under your house, a "P-Trap" may be as simple as cutting it in.

BUT

it can be a problem too if you live in a slab house

are you sure you're missing a trap?  unless the shower was not "inspected" and a permit was "NOT" taken out, then perhaps, but somehow i seriously doubt it.

SHAME ON THE PERSON WHO FLAKED ON THE PERMIT/INSPECTION!  

this is exactly why we encourage it...

Answer 2

put something over the drain or start digging. By the way who was the numb skull?

Answer 3

Bummer, who hired him, what a f$#%ing idiot!! May as well resign yourself to digging it out.
