Default something you dont find everyday

Below is a picture of the floor under the main bathroom jacuzi tub
in the basement, the utility room to be precise.
the opening for the plumbing here has taken a portion of the floor out.
How would you word this?
thanks

Seems typical of a tub. And, as Michael said, the trap must be out of the picture, below?\


ABS? Is it a manufactured home?


The subfloor cutout is needed to make room for the drain.

No, it was built in 1976, i have not seen the plumbing done in such a way as to see light in the basement from the bathroom upstairs.

one of those picky things I thought the plumbing should have been done better.

Looks like standard operating procedure to me. We don't have basements but the sub-floors are always cut out like that.

Most of the drain cutouts i see are about that size. The tub doesn't rest on the floor there, other than aesthetics, potential draft, and eliminating potential rodent access I wouldn't call it a problem.

If the basement is unconditioned, then they should fill the voids with insulation.



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
