Tile and grout are not waterproof. The membrane behind them is. Most shower failures we're called to fix were tiled beautifully over nothing. We build the system: membrane, pan, drain, seams, and a flood test before a single tile goes up.
We measure in person, and your written estimate arrives the same day.

Soft baseboards, a musty smell, cracked or dark grout lines, and hollow-sounding tile are the common signs. We diagnose honestly. Sometimes it is a $400 regrout, sometimes the pan has failed.
No, grout and tile both pass moisture. The membrane behind them does the waterproofing, which is why we photograph and flood-test it before tile ever goes up.
Sometimes. If the wall membrane is sound we can rebuild the pan alone. If the system behind the walls has failed, we will show you the evidence and price the honest fix.
