Bathroom Water Leak Repairs

Got a call from an apartment community in Sacramento, they had a leak in an upstairs unit. The damage was extensive in the downstairs unit. Here a picture of the laundry room walls. The walls were opened and fans and dehumidifiers were used to dry out the area.

The water had traveled done the walls unforefunately we were busy getting the job completed and didn't get a chance to take many before pictures. The residents needed us to get the walls open and dried, so we could put things back to normal. Here is the new drywall up and ready for texture.

Here is the same wall a few hours later. It wasn't long before things were completely restored to normal, and we were off to the next job.

Water was seeping outfrom under the cabinet, at first management thought it was a drain pipe leak under the sink. Water was on the floor but not under the sink. Shower leak? Toilet maybe? After doing some clean up, and testing in the area, it was discovered that the water was coming from under the cabinet.

The water only appeared on the floor when the sink was running. A hole was cut in the drywall under the vanity sink to check the drain. Reaching into the opening Tromler Construction discovered that the drain line was cracked at the concrete slab. The cabinet needed to be removed to do the repair work to the drainage pipe.

It looks bad but the area was cleaned up quickly after correcting the problem in the wall.The new drywall was patched and textured to match the existing surfaces.

Waterproofing With Hot Mop Tar

A waterproof barrier is required before pouring a new concrete deck. Without a waterproof membrane, water damage and dry rot will occur. Find a good hot mop contractor in you area.
When a concrete deck fails, it is because the waterproof barrier has failed to hold back the water. Do not cut corner on this phase of the project.
