Tile people

[Cat]

They're baaaaccccckkkkk.


After the week I've had, if things don't shake out MY way, cops will probably be involved.

1. Same group or different?

2. Are they redoing it or repairing it?

3. What did the contractor(s) say about the first round of work?

4. Did you guys ever find out what is behind the tile as far as waterproofing the sub-straight?



This test will be graded.

Redo is good.

It's time to ask someone there in charge what waterproofing product was used on the sub-straight in the first place, and if the waterproofing will also be redone or how it will be repaired after demo (ex: Kerdi, Redguard, Hydroban, etc, etc, etc...). Remember, tile and grout are NOT waterproof.


This is the time to start asking questions and take detailed photos of every step of the new install and every product they use. The blew it once. Watch them like a hawk.

Pics or video if cops get involved!

I hate to tell you but the cops will tell you to call a lawyer and take them to small claims court. It's a civil matter.

Umm... That's not exactly what I meant.

I'll ask the name of the product. I know they had blue and red colored stuff everywhere. I am pointedly ignoring them today. They're Jody's imbeciles to babysit. But photos and an eagle eye will be used.

Ah, I get it.

I know you've probably had idiots that actually think that way. Easy to misunderstand in today's society.

The red guard was there product of choice for waterproofing and with the ammout of takeoff and put back of tile I hate to say it but they need at least 3 and maybe 4 coats of that stuff before laying the tile. One pinhole is all it takes for water to penetrate behind the substrate and start growing mold and mildew. On a Shower this large I wish they had used kourdy. It's goof proof.

3-4 coats... That explains why it took a week for them to paint, leave, paint, leave, paint, leave then. They did PLENTY of that in the beginning. And when they replaced tile the first time, it took them three or four days to get back to where they were when they started. So it sounds like maybe the waterproofing was done in several stages.

Kerdi isn't exactly goof proof. Takes quite a bit of skill to install correctly. I wouldn't trust a novice DIYer to install it correctly. But to waterproof a shower, Kerdi is the way to go.
