Troubleshooting
Drain is not flowing properly or is clogged.
Remove the grate and hair strainer. Clear any visible debris, hair, or buildup. Ensure the drain pipe itself is not blocked.
Water is pooling around the drain.
Verify that the drain body is properly sealed to the subfloor and drain pipe. Check that the surrounding floor has adequate slope towards the drain.
The tile insert does not fit flush.
Ensure the tile was cut to the correct dimensions for the insert. Re-seat the tile and check for any obstructions.
Rust spots appearing on the stainless steel.
