Tile and Waterproofing

Tile and Waterproofing in Lakewood

Tile is what you see, but waterproofing is what makes a bathroom last. Wikireverse installs porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone (marble, travertine, granite) over cement backer board with a bonded waterproofing membrane, modified or unmodified thinset, and the right grout, all set to the TCNA Handbook and the ANSI A108 series. Tile installation labor in the Lakewood area typically runs $7 to $20 per square foot.

Why the Membrane Matters

A gorgeous tile job over poor waterproofing will still fail. Water finds any gap, wicks into the backer board and framing, and shows up as mold or a soft subfloor. We build the wet area as a bonded system (backer board, membrane, sloped pan, and correct drain) so the assembly stays dry behind the surface for the long term, not just the first year.

Our Process

We help you choose porcelain, ceramic, or stone based on how the surface will be used, then prep the substrate, bond the membrane, and set tile with attention to layout, grout joints, and slip resistance underfoot. Epoxy or cementitious grout is selected to match the tile and the moisture load of the room.
