One-quarter inch per foot is both the standard practice all around the country and the minimum slope (or grade) allowed by most codes. If maintaining that much slope is a problem, an exception can be requested from the administrative authority.
Installing a steam shower in the basement is not a good idea. The steam shower should be installed in the nbathroom of your home.
You can get a back water valve. It is similar to a check vale/ the back water valve goes on your main sewer line out side of home. It is desined to stop black water form coming into your home if main line stops up. Thay do make a device that can be installed into an exsisting drain it lets water through your drain but will not let water back up through you shower drain.
Fiberglass shower stalls are available for purchase at most home improvement stores. Home Depot and Lowe's should both have these shower stalls in stock.

I used to live in an apartment building that I noticed this problem...it comes from drain pipes connecting to each other, possibly not completely draining out, leaving used water in the drain pipes. I use to pour some bleach down the bathroom shower/tub drain....and the bathroom sink every couple of days before I left for work...fresh as a daisy when I got home!
if the drain is broken or wont drain, you have to jack hammer it up and replace p trap and pipe, then pour concrete and then do tile..Is that what u wanted? If you want to know about how the pipe itself is installed, it would be easier to go to home depot and just look at one of the how to books.
Any thing from hair to toys to roots or anything you jam down your toilet or drain pipe that wont decompose. I have snaked out a lot of sewer lines and I have to say that the number one reason for a clogged drain line is the pipe is not graded correctly or is back graded from settling. My 2nd most reason is tree roots or damaged pipe. If your home has plastic pipe like DWV ABS or PVC and it all grades perfectly down hill without damaged pipes the chances of having a clog are very very slim. Kitchen drain with disposals are the only drain lines I personally seen that have clogged with perfect grade with plastic drain pipes. Shower and tub drains mostly clog at the shower/tub strainer or trap and very rare clog after that if its plastic pipe and has slope.
Nope - it's a sentence 'frament'. A complete example would be... 'Call me after you go home and shower'. - OR - 'After you go home and shower, have something to eat.'
Centipedes got in my shower because there was a tiny hole in my window ledge. They can also climb up through the drain. Centipedes like a moist environment, therefore they will find their way to places with water such a shower, laundry room etc...
