Water damage doesn't announce itself. It starts behind the tile where you can't see it — seeping through grout, pooling under floors, rotting walls from the inside out. By the time you notice, the damage is done and expensive to fix. That's why we use Schluter waterproofing systems on every bathroom and shower we build. Schluter is the professional-grade membrane that contractors use when they want tile work to last. It creates a complete barrier between your tile and the structure behind it, stopping water at the surface instead of letting it soak through. This isn't an optional upgrade or a luxury feature. It's the right way to install tile in wet areas.
We install Schluter membranes on shower walls, floors, tub surrounds, and anywhere else tile meets moisture. The process involves applying the membrane over cement board or properly prepped walls, sealing all seams and corners with Schluter tape and sealant, and creating a waterproof envelope that won't fail. Then we install tile over the membrane using the correct thinset and techniques. The result is a system that keeps water where it belongs — draining away, not leaking into your walls. We've seen too many beautiful tile jobs ruined by skipped waterproofing. We don't work that way.
When we finish, your bathroom has real protection that lasts as long as the tile itself. No mold growing behind the walls, no soft spots in the floor, no leaks that force a full remodel years later. Schluter costs more upfront than cheap alternatives, but it saves you thousands in repairs down the road. If you're investing in tile work, invest in the waterproofing that protects it. We'll show you why this system matters and install it correctly the first time.
Schluter-Kerdi Membrane Installation – Thin, flexible waterproof membrane installed on shower walls, floors, and tub surrounds for complete moisture protection.
Shower Pan Waterproofing – Schluter shower pan systems with proper slope and drainage that prevent water from pooling or leaking through floors.
Corner & Seam Sealing – Specialized Schluter tape and sealant used at corners, seams, and transitions to create a fully sealed waterproof barrier.
Drain Integration – Schluter drains installed with proper bonding to the membrane so water can't leak around drain connections.
Bathroom Floor Waterproofing – Membrane systems installed under tile floors in bathrooms to protect against moisture and prevent rot in subfloors.
Tub Surround Protection – Waterproof barriers installed behind tub tile to prevent water from reaching walls and causing damage.
Full System Installation – Complete Schluter systems installed according to manufacturer specifications for warranty-backed protection.
We Don't Skip This Step – A lot of contractors skip waterproofing or use cheaper methods to save time and money. We install Schluter on every bathroom and shower because it's the right way to protect your investment. No shortcuts, no cheap alternatives.
Installed to Manufacturer Standards – Schluter only works if it's installed correctly. We follow their specifications for membrane overlap, corner sealing, and drain integration. That means the system performs the way it's designed to and the warranty stays valid.
Protects Against Hidden Damage – Water damage happens slowly behind the tile where you can't see it. By the time you notice mold or soft spots, the repair bill is huge. Schluter stops water at the surface so you never deal with that problem.
Works with Any Tile Type – Whether you're using ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, or glass tile, Schluter systems work underneath all of them. The membrane doesn't interfere with tile installation — it enhances it.
Long-Term Cost Savings – Yes, Schluter costs more than tar paper or basic cement board. But it lasts decades without failing. One waterproofing job done right saves you from tearing out tile and rebuilding walls later.
