Shower & Tub Installation in St. Francis Heights, Daly City, CA
Upper-floor bathrooms on hillside homes drain through the structure below, so a failed pan or valve does damage in rooms you are not looking at. We water-test the full assembly before closing anything up, without exception.
How do you confirm a new shower won't leak?
We run the assembly under water and check for movement before anything gets closed up. On upper floors especially, that test is not optional.
