Service scope
A clear look at the core work, the decisions that shape it, and what to expect along the way.
Confirm the approved system before ordering.
| Method | What distinguishes it |
|---|---|
| Traditional liner and mortar bed | A liner and compatible drain manage water beneath the mortar bed using the specified slope, weep paths and curb and wall connections. |
| Bonded sheet membrane | A sheet barrier lies below the tile-setting layer, joined with the specified overlaps or bands, corners, mortar and designated drain. |
| Liquid-applied membrane | A coating forms the barrier only after the specified preparation, film thickness, coats, reinforcement and cure. |
| Waterproof board or prefabricated system | Panels, pans, curbs and other components form a system when support, fit, fasteners, seams, slope and drain connections are completed as specified. |
Core project elements
Final scope depends on the material, site conditions, and proposal, but these are the central parts of the work. None of the listed systems or supporting services is automatically included in every job.
Name the compatible liner, sheet, liquid or board system, drain and accessories for the actual exposure. Combining parts is appropriate only when the combination is expressly supported. Waterproof individual products do not prove that their connections work together.
Confirm suitable supporting surfaces and the required slopes before applying the barrier. A membrane does not create drainage geometry. Board support, fasteners and surface preparation must match the chosen method.
Install the specified wet-area coverage with the required seams, overlaps or bands. Liquid systems need their specified film thickness, coats, reinforcement and curing; waterproof board still needs its joints and fasteners detailed.
Connect corners, changes of plane, pipes, valves, niches, benches, curbs and other penetrations. Horizontal surfaces require their intended drainage and barrier details; decorative trim cannot provide these functions.
Treat the drain connection and barrier as one assembly. A traditional liner method has its own slope, drain and weep-path details; do not casually combine it with a different surface-membrane arrangement.
Complete specified inspection and water testing after required curing and before concealment, following the system and applicable local requirements. Record the system and photograph important details. Test duration and return-to-work timing depend on the assembly.
Your proposal defines the scope
We'll review visible conditions and document the agreed work. Hidden or changed conditions are handled separately instead of being silently assumed.
Review the named system, inspected or tested areas, recorded results, photographs before concealment and responsibility for any remaining connections. Confirm that later work will preserve the barrier. Tile, epoxy grout and sealer do not replace this assembly.
