How We Build: The 5-Step Waterproof Shower Process
Most shower leaks in Oklahoma homes happen because contractors cut corners behind the tile. Here is exactly how our builds are engineered from bare framing to ready-for-glass.
Studs-Out Tear-Out & 2" DWV Drain Conversion
We strip failing tile, moisture-damaged drywall, or old tub inserts down to bare wood framing and subfloor, inspecting for hidden water rot or mold. Bathtub drains use 1.5-inch lines prone to sluggish pooling. We convert the plumbing below the slab or subfloor to a 2-inch DWV PVC line so high-flow shower fixtures drain instantly.
Hand-Troweled 1/4" Pre-Slope Mortar Bed
A leakproof shower begins with the pre-slope. We pack a screeded dry-pack mortar bed pitched at 1/4-inch per linear foot toward the integrated bonding flange drain. This guarantees water that reaches the pan drains immediately toward the pipe rather than pooling under tile.
Schluter-KERDI Waterproofing & 24-Hr Flood Test
We seal the shower from subfloor to ceiling using certified Schluter-KERDI bonded membrane and prefabricated waterproof corners. Before setting a single tile, we plug the drain, fill the pan with water, and conduct a mandatory 24-hour flood test to verify zero water drop overnight.
TCNA-Compliant Precision Tile Lay & Movement Joints
Tile is installed using laser leveling lines and mechanical tension clips to guarantee flat surfaces without lippage. Per TCNA EJ171 specifications, all inside corners and wall-to-floor plane changes are sealed with 100% color-matched silicone to absorb building movement without cracking grout.
Solid Quartz Curb Caps & Glass-Ready Prep
We never leave grout joints on flat horizontal surfaces where standing water can penetrate. Shower curbs, niche sills, and bench tops are capped with single-piece solid quartz slabs pitched slightly inward. Openings are plumbed and reinforced for heavy frameless glass doors.

Why Oklahoma Concrete Slabs Crack Tile (And How We Stop It)
Oklahoma red clay expands aggressively in wet springs and contracts drastically in dry summers. This movement creates hairline shifting in concrete foundation slabs across Oklahoma City, Edmond, and Yukon. If tile is bonded directly to the slab, it cracks within 2 years. We isolate the foundation with Schluter uncoupling membranes and 100% flexible silicone expansion joints at every plane change per TCNA EJ171 specifications.

Keep the room layout or move the fixtures?
An Edmond bathroom project can replace a failing shower while leaving the vanity, toilet, and floor plan in place, or rebuild the entire room. Moving a drain or changing a tub opening adds different planning questions from replacing finishes in the same footprint. Share the existing layout and the changes you want so the estimate compares the right scope.
Information to send before an Edmond site visit
Include your ZIP code, photographs, approximate room size, preferred timeline, and whether this is the household's only bathroom. Call out leaks, visible damage, and any interest in benches, niches, grab-bar backing, or a lower shower entry. Those details help frame the conversation before measurement and a written proposal.
