Master Bathroom Leaky Shower Fix
Posted on Sun, Dec 18, 2011
Stone Creek Builders has been contracted to redo a master bathroom shower stall in Jackson NJ. Unfortunately this shower is not very old and was installed improperly. We will repair the water problem by gutting the shower stall down to the studs and rebuild the shower area using better materials and correct installation methods.
The owner noticed some deterioration on the outside of the shower caused by water leaking through the shower seat and improperly installed waterproofing. We removed all of the tile and backboard and found that the water was penetrating multiple areas. In addition we uncovered a few areas where additional insulation will help keep the bathroom warmer in the winter months.
We will be rebuilding a portion of the seat, installing cement board for the new tile as well as installing Schluter Kerdi waterproofing membrane to ensure that the seat and shower stall are properly waterproofed prior to installing the new tile purchased at Avalon in Eatontown, NJ.
The client decided that they might as well make the shower more functional by adding a few tile niches to store and organize their everyday showering items.
This project will take approximately 4 days to complete and the new custom shower door will take approximately another 5 days.
