Shower Pan Leak Repair and Waterproofing in Whittier, CA

A cracked or poorly sloped shower pan often causes wet baseboards and stained ceilings below. We test the pan by plugging the drain and flooding it to confirm the leak. Then we rebuild the pan with correct pre-slope, a new liner or bonded membrane and a properly clamped drain. A second flood test proves the pan is watertight before tile.

Below-Grade and Basement Wall Waterproofing in Whittier

Copper pinhole leaks and corroded cast iron drains are frequent repair calls in homes that are now several decades old. Wherever a home has a basement or below-grade walls, heavy rain and snowmelt can push water through foundation walls and cracks. We seal cracks with injection products, apply interior or exterior waterproofing and install drainage where needed. A sump pump may be added if groundwater builds up.

Plumbing Leak Behind Walls in Whittier

A slow drip from a shower valve, supply stub or drain fitting can soak a wall for months before you notice. We locate the leak with moisture meters, thermal imaging and pressure tests. The damaged section of pipe or valve is replaced, and wet drywall is cut out and dried. Once the cavity is dry, we restore the wall and seal any wet-area walls.

Interior Walls Waterproofing in Whittier, CA

Interior walls waterproofing focuses on managing water that has already passed through the foundation walls. This usually involves installing an interior drainage system, often called a French drain, along the perimeter of the basement floor. Water is collected and channeled to a sump pump, which then sends it safely away from the foundation. While not preventing water from entering the wall, it stops it from pooling inside your living space. This solution is less disruptive than exterior excavation and works well where exterior access is limited.
