Our Down To The Studs Approach Isn’t Optional

#1. Peace Of Mind

Not every bathroom requires a full demolition. Some are in pristine condition and don’t need to be completely gutted.

With Mr. Rickard’s expertise, we assess the scope of work needed to ensure your bathroom is damage-free before installing anything new.

That said, many bath remodelers claim they can spot underlying issues without stripping the wet area entirely when they simply can’t. They most often recommend not gutting the area as it’s just easier for them not to.

Here’s the issue: serious problems such as rotten floorboards, mold, mildew, faulty plumbing, and electrical work can easily go unnoticed without proper inspection (and demolition, if necessary).

That’s why at JDS Bath, we make sure you have total peace of mind. We inspect and fix any hidden problems underneath your old shower or tub, so you can feel confident that your new shower or tub will last.

#2. Your Tub Lasts Longer

Many bath remodelers who don’t strip the entire wet area aren’t being lazy – they just don’t think it’s all that important. After all, you likely won’t notice any problems for a year, five years, or maybe even ten years.

By that point, they’ve been fully paid for the job, and your warranty has likely expired. For them, it’s no harm, no foul.

Eventually, however, your tub or shower will wear down sooner if there are underlying structural issues. That includes mold, rotten wood, or outdated plumbing and electrical components – it’s only a matter of time.

And when issues develop, you have to take the tub or shower out to fix them, which is a costly and time-consuming job.

#3. Prevents Mold, Mildew, And Water Damage

Mold, mildew, and water damage are some of the most common and destructive bathroom problems. This is especially true inside and around your tub and shower, where leaks develop frequently.

If your bath remodeler doesn’t replace outdated or damaged plumbing components, then there is a good chance that leaks will occur. And you won’t know it until it’s too late.

From widespread mold growth inside your tub and shower to rotten floorboards, these issues are incredibly concerning. They can impact the air quality inside your bathroom (and your entire home), causing a health risk as mold worsens.

The good news? You don’t have to fret about these concerns with JDS Bath. We make sure all mold is removed, all damaged floorboards are replaced, and all plumbing issues are addressed.

#4. Detect Cases Of Termite Infestations

Nothing can damage your tub and shower faster than termites. And in some cases, we find signs of termite infestation in and around your bathroom’s wet area.

You could pay the price in the long run if termite issues aren’t addressed. And, unfortunately, the only way to make sure termites aren’t an issue is to go down to the studs during your bath remodel.

And it’s not just termites. There’s no telling what we’ll find underneath your tub or shower. That’s why we hope for the best but expect the worst. In either case, you’re fully covered as we address ALL underlying concerns. That way, your new tub or shower is pristine and built to last a lifetime.
