Shower & Tub Installation in Top of the Hill, Daly City, CA
Original bathrooms in this neighborhood sometimes have shower pans and waterproofing predating modern standards. Where we are opening the assembly anyway, it is worth knowing what is actually behind the tile before deciding scope.
What if the waterproofing behind my tile is original?
It is worth knowing before finalising scope. In the oldest bathrooms the membrane may predate current standards, and addressing it while the assembly is open is far cheaper than revisiting later.
