Your walk-in shower or bathtub is leaking! We understand the frustration you are feeling. You’re afraid to use your shower or haven’t used it in a long time. Maybe, you have had plumbers, tilers & handymen come in to give recommendations, but none are giving you any options that make sense or hold water. You don’t want to fix the problem with the same installation method that is causing the current problem or may cause future problems. We can fix your shower and it will be 100% waterproof! We will also design it so you never have to worry about re-caulking. That’s right! Never have to worry about molding & peeling caulk!! NO MOLD ISSUES!

Here are 2 excellent videos and a great Fine Homebuilding article to help explain what happens to a shower on a daily basis and the traditional/old way of constructing a shower stall with a tiled floor. Cut and paste into browser, if links don't work.

As you can see in the second video, the wall backing material is installed after the floor rubber pan installation. Which means another waterproofing system must now be installed. We use Schluter Waterproofing System in all of our shower rebuilds. We know that Schluter waterproofing membranes provide excellent waterproofing protection and peace-of-mind behind your shower walls and other tiled elements subject to moisture. This waterproofing process helps to ensure that your shower or bath surround is well-protected against water leakage, which can lead to damage to to surrounding materials and mold or mildew.

We exclusively use Schluter Systems Tile Uncoupling Membrane & Waterproofing Membrane
in all our tile and shower installations!

Facts you should know about your Leaking Shower and its repair

Cracked grout or tiles are often the result of a leak that has gotten past the waterproof membrane and caused the wood subfloor to swell and expand, which causes the tile and substrate to crack. The crack is the result of a leak not the cause of the leak.
Replacing cracked grout with new grout and applying a water proof sealer will not solve the problem. The water will find it's way through to the liner. This is only a temporary solution at best.
Brush on water proof surface coatings will NOT stop leaks from the most common areas where leaks occur. This is where the wall and floor tiles have separated in the corner of your shower or the shower pan membrane has been compromised. Don't waste your money on these products. They don't work.
Detecting a leak can be a challenge. There is multiple areas where a leak can occur.
Even the best silicone and polyurethane sealants/caulking will go green and moldy. .
A sign that you have moisture behind your tile is rusty corner bead and bubbling paint on the outside corners of your shower. I used to think it was because of a leaky shower door, it’s not!

We are determined to help you expertly repair your shower!
