Noah Homes for the Disabled Spring valley

Project Overview

This commercial remediation project at Noah Homes required solving a severe water intrusion issue while accommodating the specific structural and spatial limitations of an accessible bathroom facility. By utilizing advanced, low-profile Schluter waterproofing technology and managing all demolition and plumbing adjustments internally, our team successfully restored the shower’s structural integrity and appearance without extending the project timeline.

Materials & Specifications

  • Waterproofing System: Complete Schluter®-System, featuring Schluter wallboards and Schluter-DITRA membranes to create a fully sealed, vapor-tight envelope.

  • Drainage: Schluter integrated drain system, replaced and installed directly by our team to ensure perfect compatibility with the waterproofing layer.

  • Tile: Carefully sourced replacement wall tile and mosaic floor pan elements designed to seamlessly blend with the original bathroom design.

The Problem

Water leaking through an exterior wall signaled a catastrophic waterproofing failure in an accessible shower at Noah Homes for the Disabled in Spring Valley, CA. Upon demolition, our team discovered root intrusion and minor mold growth caused by the persistent moisture. Furthermore, the bathroom lacked the vertical clearance required for a traditional hot mop and deck mud shower pan, making the structural rebuild more complex.

The Solution

Castle Stone + Tile executed a complete tear-out and handled the necessary drain replacements in-house. To resolve the space constraints and guarantee a 100% watertight seal, we engineered a full Schluter®-System replacement. We meticulously sourced replacement tiles to closely match the facility’s existing aesthetic, delivering a safe, cohesive, and fully restored accessible shower environment.

The Results

The newly restored shower provides a safe, highly durable, and completely waterproof environment for the residents of Noah Homes. By addressing the root cause of the exterior leak and utilizing state-of-the-art Schluter technology to overcome space limitations, Castle Stone + Tile delivered a permanent, reliable solution that beautifully preserves the facility’s original aesthetic.
