Leaks & Loose Tile, Diagnosed Free

Find the path first. Then fix exactly that.

About a third of Southington 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.

Southington notes

Hall baths carry the load in Southington family homes: original tub walls with soap-scum grout, floors with cracked tiles at the doorway. Primary-bath shower floors from the 90s boom are delaminating on schedule now. Southington's 90s primary showers are failing in waves — loose floor tile and musty grout that no cleaner fixes. Re-tile the floor, save the walls. 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

What does diagnosis include?

Moisture grid of floor and walls, drain and weep-hole check, grout/caulk inspection, flood test if indicated — readings shown on site, photos emailed. Free.

Cheapest possible fix?

Failed joints or clogged weep holes: $200–$500 re-seal and re-joint. We prescribe it whenever evidence supports it — small catches are the whole point of free diagnosis.

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.

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.
