Shower leaks don’t announce themselves — they rot studs and ruin ceilings before you ever see water. Proper waterproofing is the invisible difference between a 5-year shower and a 25-year shower.
Schluter Kerdi sheet membrane or RedGard liquid membrane over cement board substrate. Then tile on top. This is the only correct method — greenboard or just thinset is not waterproof.
Shower floor must slope 1/4" per foot toward the drain. Mud-bed construction or pre-sloped Schluter pan. Improperly sloped showers pool water at the wall — eventually leaks through grout.
Mixing valve installed with proper hot/cold orientation, anti-scald protection (code-required), and shut-off access. Done by our licensed plumber, not by handymen with YouTube training.
Properly built shower curb prevents water spilling onto bathroom floor. We use foam curb forms (Wedi/Kerdi) with membrane wrap — no chance of curb-base water intrusion.
Recessed shampoo niches sloped for drainage. Built-in benches fully waterproofed before tile. These are the spots that fail first if not done correctly.
Modified thinset for porcelain, unmodified for stone (no surprises about which mortar). Proper backer-rod expansion joints in long runs. Caulk — not grout — in all inside corners.
From budget prefab kits to fully custom tile showers.
