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.
Ventilation sized to the room, ducted outside and not into the attic, is what stops the mold that brings people back two years later.
Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
What the job includes
- Tub-to-shower conversion
- Waterproof pan and membrane systems
- Tile shower and wet-room builds
- Vanity, toilet and fixture replacement
- Exhaust ventilation sized and ducted
- Grab bars and accessible layouts
