Is $6,100 to remodel a bathroom due to water damage a fair price?
Project Details
We just got this house and this was the one major issue: when you shower the water goes through the tiles into the drywall and into the garage. We have not used it obviously but we don't know how long the previous owner did until they noticed the problem. My main concern is mold and structure. I know that the water is coming through the tiles; the home inspector agreed. So, would just filling the cracks be bad? Could you even guarantee waterproofing? I have pictures and will try and attach, but it seems the subreddit doesn't allow them.
