Curbless Walk-In Shower

Our iconic style is a disabled-accessible curbless, doorless walk-in shower with a linear drain. In our book, we provide detailed instructions on building this shower style.

Bathtub Installation

A correctly installed bathtub should be stable and mold-free along the edges. This project doesn't need any silicone sealants.

Choosing Materials

We introduce many styles of shower shelving that complement the wall and floor tiles. We also educate homeowners on choosing the correct tiles for their projects.

Freestanding Classic Bathtub

A freestanding or whirlpool-style bathtub can be minimal and stylish. These are perfect alternatives to the traditional gigantic built-in bathtubs in master bathrooms.

Revolution In Your Bathroom!

Homeowners are usually used to their current bathroom setup, so it can be hard to imagine anything different. It's time to do a small revolution in your bathroom.

Secret Leaks In Your Bathroom

When your bathroom becomes moldy and the floor feels soft, crackling, or buckling, the cause is most likely water damage. It is essential to check your crawlspace under the bathroom area frequently for possible water leaks.

Efflorescence

Many showers and outdoor projects are compromised with efflorescence. This does not indicate a problem with the project, but the discoloration still needs to be addressed.

Bathroom Design Failures

Some bathrooms are poorly designed, which makes the area hard to use or even dangerous for the homeowner. We describe how important it is to have your bathroom serve you, not you serving the bathroom. This essential room must also meet building codes.

Walk-In Shower Failure

Many walk-in showers are leaking, especially those waterproofed using the rubber membrane. This promotes mold growth and rotten structures. Our innovative building methods teach you how to build a walk-in shower with a central drain that will never leak or grow mold.

Bathroom Project Longevity

A newly finished bathroom project usually looks beautiful, but how long will the beauty last? Some contractors use the wrong materials or poor waterproofing, which could compromise the entire project within a couple of years. This book describes the most common construction flaws and shortcuts taken by builders.

The Killer Shower

This walk-in shower niche was poorly designed, so it became rotten due to a water leak. On top of that, the water was spilling onto an electric box, which could have killed the homeowner! Our book includes more than 50 stories from customers and our business experiences.

Shower Pipe Laparoscopy

We advise homeowners about shower faucet and plumbing repairs without damaging expensive tile projects. Always ask for a second opinion for needed bathroom repairs before allowing someone to do non-reversable damage.

Building A Niche

A correctly sloped and waterproofed niche is essential for a quality project to prevent water leaks and mold growth.

Walk-In Shower With A Central Drain

The walk-in shower with a central drain requires correct sloping for proper drainage. It is also crucial that minimum water remains under the floor tiles when you turn the water off. This prevents mold growth.

Mitering Tiles

Mitering the tiles creates beautiful projects with smooth edges. This advanced tile-cutting technique will make your bathroom project feel special.

Walk-In Shower Niche

A precisely placed niche in your bathroom project that fits exactly between tiles is easier than you think. Some contractors give the excuse that a niche must fit between studs or in a prefabricated niche base. Our book will show you differently.

Home Drainage Systems

Our book describes the importance of home stability for good bathroom conditions.

Below are just a few of the topics covered.

House jacking
Wet and moldy crawlspaces or basements
Waterproofing projects inside and outside the home
Cracked or collapsed home foundations
