Curbless Shower Plumbing: A Livermore Guide

The drain depth

The drain must sit low enough for the floor to slope without a curb to hold water back.

The waterproofing

A waterproof membrane extends well beyond the wet area to protect the subfloor.

The framing

Floor joists may need adjusting to recess the pan, so it matters early in the project.

The call

Plan it before the tile goes down. Call 888-217-3585 and Livermore Home Plumbing Co will match you with a Livermore pro.
