Shower Pans
Is your shower stall leaking to the room underneath? Forget about caulking, applying sealant to the grout or even re-grouting, the problem is in your shower pan. We are able to resolve the problem in a couple of days. We remove some rolls of tile, demolish all the way to the sub-floor, re-apply a new shower pan, rebuild all the layers and lay new tiles. This is easy as pie.
We have installed so many shower pans that we lost count.
Here you will find schematics for some of the techniques we use. Feel free to call us if you need any work. (323) 651 0635

Re-grout and Grout Replacement
When setting the Shower Pan Drain,be sure to set the ”flat area” of the bottom half
directly on the sub-floor surface.
“Blocking” around your shower stall is required to give the Shower Pan a solid
surface to sit against, and also protect it from
careless tradesmen who might otherwise knock
a hammer or other instrument through the
Hot-Mop membrane.
“Blocking” is best done with 2″x10″ or
2″x12″ boards cut to fit between the studs.
The “Curb”, also called the Damn, is the area that will serve as the entrance
to your shower stall. “Curbs” are usually
built by stacking either three or four
2″x4″s on top of each other.
The minimun height requirement for a curb is
4 1/2″, although some people prefer the
look of a higher curb and may build it
6″ or even 7 1/2″ tall.
