Think your tile and grout are waterproof?
Think Again
What happens if you're shower isn't waterproofed properly?
Rotting Structure (Hidden): Water seeps behind tiles and causes wooden studs, subfloors, and drywall to rot and decay. By the time you see it, the framing is often already compromised.
Mold and Mildew Growth: The damp environment behind the tiles becomes a breeding ground for mold, often causing a persistent musty smell in the bathroom.
Waterproofing is a small percentage of your project cost that prevents catastrophic, hidden water damage. Investing in a professional installer ensures that protection actually holds, saving you from a premature, expensive tear-out. We properly install waterproofing and provide a 1 year warranty.
This customer is lucky the leaking shower was in the basement so it didn't cause damage on other levels of the house. The wood on the bottom was completely rotted to the point it had no structural integrity. The water had been leaking into the next room causing mold and rotting on the carpet.
We recommend to stop using a leaky shower or have it fixed as soon as possible to avoid these issues.
