Bathroom Waterproofing Services

Membranes, slope, and sealing installed before tile

Waterproofing protects the framing, subfloor, drywall, and finishes behind the bathroom tile. If it is missing or incomplete, water gets behind the tile and the bathroom fails. We install full waterproofing systems for showers, wet rooms, and bathroom floors so it does not.

Whether you are building a curbless shower, a steam shower, a tile tub surround, or a basement bathroom, we plan the waterproofing system around the tile and finishes you want.

Shower waterproofing

Membranes, pre-formed pans, sloped beds, and drain assemblies installed for tile-ready showers.

Floor waterproofing

Full bathroom floor waterproofing for wet rooms, curbless showers, and high-moisture areas.

Wall waterproofing

Backer board, vapour control, and sealed corners ready for shower tile and wet zones.

Drains and slope

Linear drains, point drains, and sloped beds set for proper drainage before tile.

Protected sealed and built for the long term

What goes into bathroom waterproofing

Membranes, drains, slope, and sealing planned around the tile

Waterproofing is a system, not a single product. We plan the membranes, corner details, drain assembly, slope, and sealing so the system works as a whole and the tile installer has a sound base to work from.

  • Substrate prepared flat and dry
  • Waterproofing membranes and corners installed
  • Drain and slope set before tile begins
01
Plan the waterproofing

We confirm the shower type, drain location, tile choice, and waterproofing system before any rough-in starts.

02
Prepare and install

Backer boards, membranes, drains, and slope are installed in the right order so each layer ties into the next.

03
Verify and tile

The system is checked, then tile installation can begin on a sound, waterproofed substrate.

Yes. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own. A proper waterproofing system behind and below the tile is what keeps water from reaching the framing, subfloor, and adjacent rooms.

We use sheet membranes, liquid-applied membranes, pre-formed shower pans, and bonded waterproofing systems depending on the project. The right system depends on the shower type and tile.

Yes. Curbless showers and wet rooms require full floor waterproofing with proper slope and drain placement. We plan and install the system so it ties into the rest of the bathroom.

Water gets behind the tile and damages the framing, subfloor, drywall, and adjacent rooms. Doing waterproofing properly the first time avoids tear-out and rebuild later.
