Older homes in Ghent and Ocean View often have cast iron drains that crack after years of use. We cut them out and run new PVC before the new floor goes down. Norfolk is an independent city so every plumbing change needs a permit and inspection. Skip that step and you risk fines when you sell the house.
Hot summers here push the AC hard and bathrooms turn into steam rooms fast. We always put down a Schluter membrane under the tile so moisture does not reach the subfloor. Cheap crews skip it and you end up with mold in two summers. We also check the exhaust fan and make sure it vents outside, not into the attic.
Downtown Norfolk and Berkley houses from the 1940s and 50s have small bathrooms with one tiny window. Adding a vent fan and proper waterproofing keeps the room from peeling paint every year. We frame new walls with pressure treated lumber where it touches the slab to stop rot from coming back.
Call during Mon–Fri 8am–6pm or Sat 9am–2pm if your bathroom has active leaks or you need it done before company comes. We can usually start within a week once the permit clears.
