Home / Shower Leak & Loose Tile Repair

Leaks & Loose Tile, Diagnosed Free

Find the path first. Then fix exactly that.

About a third of Farmington leak calls resolve without full replacement: failed wall-floor joints, clogged weep holes, missing drain seals, dead caulk lines. Another third need the floor rebuilt on a sound pan. The rest need pan work too. This page explains the diagnostics, the honest fix ladder from $200 seal repairs to full rebuilds, and why we diagnose free — because the right scoped job earns the review that brings the next ten.

  • 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.

Farmington notes

The Farmington pattern: a 1980s fiberglass shower pan gone dull and flexy next to dated brass trim. Shower-floor and pan re-tiles outnumber full redos here, and buyers notice new shower floors first. Farmington sellers refresh the shower floor and re-grout the walls before listing — it reads as a renovated bath in photos for a fifth of the price. 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

Q01
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.

Q02
Will you work with my plumber?

Gladly — when diagnosis points to supply or drain plumbing, we document findings for your plumber and step aside. Right trade, right bill.

Q03
How fast for active leaks?

Jump-the-queue: usually 24–48 hours in Farmington. Stop using that shower if water is visibly spreading; we'll triage by phone today.

Q04
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 Farmington, and we'll tell you if it's actually the toilet seal or supply line instead.
