Hello home improvement folks!
I hope it's ok to ask for help about my condo since it's not a house. It's my first property so I'm learning a lot.
This weekend I opened the showe drain to remove the accumulated after the shower became slow to drain. While cleaning the drain I noticed it was cracked. I thinking about putting some jb weld, flex seal or caulking as a temporary fix to stop the leak. I'm worried about leaking into my downstairs neighbors. I would like to replace this part of the drain, however I'm having a hard time finding information on the different types of shower drains. It seems like most drains are screwed-in, but the green stuff is making be think that mine might be glued. If anyone has some advice or resources I could look at I would be super grateful.
I am really bad at this stuff as well and have limited experience, but i did replace a sink drain once, and underneath, you put plumbers putty to seal it and keep any water out. Maybe that's what you're seeing here?
I haven't been able to figure what that was. I must be an adhesive of some kind. It is completely hard, but there's a big drip so it must've been liquid at some point I imagine.
