Shower pan construction and waterproofing membrane installation. The foundation that prevents every shower from leaking.
Looking for professional shower pan & waterproofing in Cleveland, Alabama? Bama Shower serves Cleveland and surrounding Blount County communities with licensed, insured tile installation services backed by years of hands-on experience.
The shower pan is where most shower failures start. A bad pan means water behind the tile, mold in the walls, and a full tear-out within a few years. We build shower pans two ways: traditional mud bed with hot-mopped or sheet membrane waterproofing, and bonded foam pan systems like Schluter Kerdi-Shower-Kit. Both methods get a flood test before any tile goes on. We also repair and replace failed shower pans — which means tearing out the existing tile, removing the compromised membrane, and rebuilding from the subfloor up. If your shower is leaking through the ceiling below, the pan is almost always the problem.
Shower pan replacement in Cleveland costs $2,000 to $5,000 depending on shower size and the extent of damage to the substructure below. This includes tear-out of existing tile, membrane removal, subfloor repair, and new pan construction.
Common signs include water stains on the ceiling below the shower, soft or spongy floor inside the shower, musty odors, and visible mold at the base of the shower walls. A flood test can confirm — we plug the drain, fill with water, and check for leaks.
Most shower pan failures are caused by improper waterproofing during original construction — no membrane, wrong membrane, or membrane not properly tied into the drain assembly. Lack of proper slope is the second most common cause.
