Hi everyone,
Over the years I've had problems with leaky shower bases. The story is the same, the waterproof membrane has failed and it's around $4 grand to rip out and re-tile and insurance will not cover it (or go the $400 'Megasealed' band-aid). It also causes tenant, PM and landlord hassle.
This happens on 5-7 year old properties as well as 50 year old properties. What is going wrong here? Is it due to bad workmanship or just a design flaw in tiled bases?
How do we as investors avoid this problem?
Is it possible / worth converting to a single piece shower base?
David.
