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.
Common questions
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.
