It has only been a few months since I completed a remodel on our master bath. New paint, new granite counter tops and new sinks. A spiffy new shower as well as new curtains and accessories. So I thought we were good for awhile right. Wrong! We returned from a trip to San Antonio to find the plumbing in the master bath had sprung a leak and we had a flooded closet and master bath. So out came the carpet and pad in the closet and in went the fans and desiccant. The leak was in the wall behind my vanity so we had to tear that out to get to it. Sheet rock was wet and molding so it and the cabinet went. The builder had put the cabinet in such a way that we had to break part of the tub to get it out. As well as the sheet rock behind the tub was wet so out came the tub (in pieces). Now we are left to build our newly remodeled bathroom back again. And so the title of this piece.
This where the tub used to be. Yes that is the hole we found the builder left under the tub. Usually they are much smaller and most will fill with lightweight cement after the drain is fitted. We also found a very weird plumbing and electrical setup for the Jacuzzi tub.
This is where my vanity was. It couldn't be saved it was water logged and turing green.
The offending plumbing. Second pipe on the manifold from the left. You can see my patch until the plumbers arrived.
Plumbing repaired. Cost $260. Cost to repair all the damage about $7500.
Master Closet. Dried pretty quickly but we had to scrape all the grunge off the floors left by the painters to get the smell out.
We had just discussed taking a break from any more projects until the fall. Oh well.
Hope you are high. dry and happy.
