Waterproofing is the whole job. Tile is a wear surface, not a water barrier - what keeps water out of the framing is the membrane behind it, and a shower built without a proper pan and bonded membrane will rot the subfloor whatever it looks like.

Tub-to-shower conversions are the most requested change and the most commonly botched, usually at the curb and the drain: the pan has to slope to the drain evenly or water sits against the curb and finds the gap.

Dry summers and wet winters concentrate water intrusion into a few months, so flashing and drainage details that hold are what matter most.

  • Tub-to-shower conversion
  • Waterproof pan and membrane systems
  • Tile shower and wet-room builds
