In the hospital, the Medical Social Worker has a critical role in the area of discharge planning. It is the Medical Social Workerâs responsibility to ensure that the services the patient requires are in place in order to facilitate a timely discharge and ensure that the patientâs needs will be cared for at home.
I'm assuming you have a fiberglass tub/shower unit. The squishy feeling you describe is the tub bottom flexing. Before setting a fiberglass tub, a good plumber will take the time to place mortar or plaster of paris underneath the tub to give the bottom some support. have been with him for 5 years and have never put anything under the tub and never had 1 complaint. Lasco and sterling both say you dont need anything under them. I dont know about National, kohler, or Aker.
For this reason the joists under the bathtub may be reinforced especially in installations that utilize cast iron or whirlpool tubs. Tub Weight Bathtubs range in weight from about 60 or 70 pounds for a fiberglass tub up to 500 pounds for a cast iron whirlpool tub. Cast iron tubs are more durable with a longer lasting finish than fiberglass. Fiberglass feels warmer to the touch when you first add water and does not cool the water the way iron may.
