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 — West Hartford 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.

West Hartford notes

Elmwood two-families and West End colonials alike: original tub walls with character worth saving, but grout and caulk past rescue. Regrout-plus-seal is the preservation move; full surround re-tile is the reset button. West Hartford's vintage baths reward restraint: a pro regrout and color-seal can make 1940s tile look intentional again instead of tired. Stains below or smells within — call 860-990-2332. The diagnosis is free, the fix ladder is honest, and small catches stay small.
