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.
Common questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
