Problem – Marble Shower Floor Leak
This Client had just purchased a home and realized that after using the marble shower for the first time, there was a noticeable leak to the ceiling below.
They stopped using the shower and after searching the internet for a contractor with experience in the construction and repair of custom tiled showers, they found Specialized Floor Care Services Company.
They gave us a call. We made an appointment to inspect the shower. The client explained their concerns and showed us the damage to the floor below.
We conducted a shower floor leak test and the test was conclusive that there was a leak in the shower pan. The ceiling below was showing signs of water leak. We gave the client a quote for the removal of the existing shower floor system and replace it with a new panless shower floor system.
The goal was to conduct a professional and effective full repair of the leak in the marble shower floor.
