Shower pan flood testing and tile prep work · More Info

No I didn’t throw them off the job. They started getting a number of things wrong and damaging other items so they walked off- I think the cost of replacing their own mistakes (doors swinging the wrong way, incorrect size of walls blocking essentials like toilet space, etc) was getting to be too much for them. I was concerned when I saw the gaps all around the shower pan.

Luckily we have an amazing plumber who was supposed to do the shower pan/system but the contractors decided to do it instead without telling us....unfortunately I can’t get the plumber out super quickly to take a look so figured I would post here and also contact Schluter. In your experience, are the gaps around the pan, etc just part of the process or does it look wrong?

That wasn’t my question. Thank you!

Since they didn't finish the Schluter installation, its definitely not right and it will not seal. However, based on what I can see in the picture it can probably be fixed by a qualified installer.

This appears to be Kerdit membrane, and every seam or penetration must be sealed with Kerdi band and thinset. All joints must have a 2 inch overlap. There are also specific Kerdi band products for inside corners and long flat runs, so you will get a better seal. This is one example of the videos that show the proper installation. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+install+kerdi+band&oq=how+to+install+kerdi+band&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l2.5983j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_p6EZX6etEOWwytMPu9m16Ao60

Hey Bruce,

Thank you so much for such a detailed response. I really appreciate it!

and to my point, NO PRO will jump in and take over they will insist to do it new ! oh man

Generally, that is true. Judging only from the pics, looks as though what was done might be OK. A good, qualified Kerdi installer can look at it and either call for a complete re-do or he/she may only need to add the corners and Kerdi Band.

DON'T PUT ANY WATER IN IT. It isn't finished. The corners aren't done, etc.
