Whirlpool tub on a slab foundation
Hi all,
I am rehabbing two back to back bathrooms due to bad termite damage in the walls. I’ve got all the demo work done. I am switching one bathroom to a shower using the kerdi waterproofing system and drain. In the other bathroom I am thinking about putting a whirlpool tub in where the old shower/tub was.
I guess my question is can I put a whirlpool tub in a slab foundation house? there is a leave out hole that I think is what let all the termites come right in. I know I am going to have to fill part of this with concrete after I have the plumbing switched out to PVC but the other half of the leave out pit will be for the tub. Or can I just fill both halves up to the slab level and install both tub and shower.
Thanks for any ideas!!!
I’ve attached a pic for your perusal. It’s what’s left of both bathrooms.
Thanks again,
Marc

that hole needs the attention of your exterminators prior to you filling it.
I don't know for sure but probably not a problem for the weight distribution for the full tub.
Exterminators have been and treated. I hadn't found any live bugs while taking any of the bad stuff out though so that was good. This is probably old old damage but definitely sucked to have 2X4 crumble in my hands.
