Norfolk homes in an independent city need permits for any plumbing moves during a master bathroom remodel. Skip that step and inspectors shut the job down fast. Cheap crews often skip the permit and leave you with fines plus leaks behind the wall.
Hot humid summers here push mold fast in baths with poor ventilation. I always pull the old drywall and put in cement board plus a good exhaust fan rated for moisture. That stops the black spots that show up every year in Ocean View and Berkley houses.
Old tile in Ghent and Colonial Place homes often sits on weak backer that fails after fifteen years. I tear it out, check the subfloor for rot, and use Schluter membrane on the new install. It costs more up front but keeps water from reaching the joists.
Call 757-555-0199 for a same-week look at your master bath. We work Monday through Friday eight to six and Saturday nine to two so working folks can meet us after hours.
