Our new house is going to be a bit of a fix up job so I need to start here. It's an old house from the late 1860's that's been remodeled and some of it using sub par contractors.
I have a nice beautiful tile shower stall down less than 5 years ago by the previous owner. Water leaks out onto the antique hardwood floor around the stall. I've been told it leaked shortly after install. Apparently a rubber pan was installed and after the leak some tiles were removed to "add more waterproofing". It still leaks.
My opinion is that it needs tile removed down to the pan to verify that was even done, and preferably a Kerdi product or properly installed membrane installed on the walls. This may be quick and easy. Either way I need some recs on experienced tradesmen.
Does anyone have anyone they recommend to do this type of job? I'm in roofing and understand hack jobs...so said company should be able to provide references and insurance.
