HOME / Shower Leak & Loose Tile Repair

Leaks & Loose Tile, Diagnosed Free

Find the path first. Then fix exactly that.

Water on the ceiling below, grout that never dries, tiles that click underfoot, a musty smell that outlives every cleaner — Berlin shower floors fail in predictable ways, and each symptom points somewhere specific. Our free leak assessment maps it: moisture readings across the floor and walls, drain and weep-hole check, grout and caulk inspection, and a flood test when the evidence points at the pan. Then you get the floor-only fix scoped to the actual failure — not a 'gut everything' quote.

  • Free moisture mapping. Floor grid + wall readings, shown to you on site.
  • Weep-hole & drain check. The two five-minute fixes that mimic pan failure.
  • Flood test when warranted. Pan proven sound or failed — no guessing.
  • Fix ladder, honest. Re-seal → re-joint → floor rebuild → pan rebuild, in order.
  • Photos + readings record. You keep the evidence file whatever you decide.

Berlin notes

Kensington's older baths still run the original 4x4 wall tile over plaster, usually with a failing caulk line at the tub. The ranch baths are fiberglass tubs with surround panels yellowed at the seams — the classic re-tile trigger. Berlin's most common call: a fiberglass surround gone yellow and chalky around a perfectly good tub — re-tile the walls, keep the tub. Stains below or smells within — call (860) 990-2332. The diagnosis is free, the fix ladder is honest, and small catches stay small.

FAQ

Common questions

Stain on the ceiling below — how urgent?

Soon: active shower leaks rot subfloor and framing daily. Call (860) 990-2332 — free diagnosis within 48 hours in Berlin, and we'll tell you if it's actually the toilet seal or supply line instead.

What does diagnosis include?

Moisture grid of floor and walls, drain and weep-hole check, grout/caulk inspection, flood test if indicated — readings shown on site, photos emailed. Free.

Cheapest possible fix?

Failed joints or clogged weep holes: $200–$500 re-seal and re-joint. We prescribe it whenever evidence supports it — small catches are the whole point of free diagnosis.

Tiles sound hollow — doomed?

Hollow over a sound dry pan can sometimes be injected or spot-repaired; hollow + wet means rebuild. The meter reading next to the hollow decides.
