We size glass to your layout and handle tricky spots common in older Houston homes like out of plumb walls or sloped floors.

Waterproofing That Stands Up to Houston Humidity

Houston’s humidity can be tough on bathrooms. Steam and daily use force water into corners and seams. Good waterproofing is the backbone of a solid shower. We use proven systems that combine a waterproof membrane sealed seams and a properly sloped pan. Niches get wrapped and sealed not just caulked on the surface. Corners get special bands. We also set high quality backer boards or panel systems rated for wet zones.

Curious about testing. On many projects we perform a flood test on the pan before walls go up. That simple step helps catch issues before tile or panels are installed.

Plumbing and Drainage Done Right

Most tubs have a 1.5 inch drain. Many walk in showers work better with a 2 inch drain that can move more water especially with rain showerheads. We upgrade drains when conditions allow. We also replace old traps fix corroded lines and bring the valve up to current standards including options like a thermostatic valve.

Houston has a mix of slab and pier and beam homes. On slab drain changes happen from above and we patch the concrete neatly. On pier and beam access from below can speed things up. We adjust our plan to fit your house not the other way around.

We keep up with plumbing codes used by the City of Houston and handle permits and inspections if required. You do not need to juggle paperwork. We take care of it.
