In this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Spokane Podcast, we’re going behind the scenes to talk about something you don’t see in the final photos but absolutely feel over time: waterproofing. When you start a bathroom remodeling project, it’s easy to focus on tile, fixtures, and colors. But what’s underneath the tile in your shower and around wet areas is just as important. Proper waterproofing protects your home from leaks, mold, and expensive water damage.

We’ll break down what waterproofing really means in a modern bathroom renovation. From shower pans and membranes to backer boards and sealants, there are several layers that work together to keep water where it belongs. We’ll explain why regular drywall is not appropriate behind shower tile, why a well-built shower pan is critical, and how proper tile installation connects with the waterproofing system. You’ll learn what to ask your contractor so you know your new walk-in shower is built to last.

We’ll also talk about common waterproofing mistakes we see in older bathrooms around Spokane, Spokane Valley, and nearby communities. Things like missing or poorly installed waterproofing, gaps in corners, or wrong materials used behind the walls can lead to soft spots, musty smells, or visible leaks over time. A quality bathroom remodeling company will take this part of the project very seriously, even if it’s not the most glamorous part of the job.
