“In older Valley neighborhoods — homes built 1950–1975 — I always check the cast iron drain before we close the walls. If it's corroded or has root intrusion, we replace it while the floor is open. The access cost is near zero mid-remodel; doing it after is a $8–12K emergency. Always check the drain.”

Pro Tip

Request a pre-tile shower inspection from LADBS before any tile is installed. The inspector verifies the waterproofing assembly is correct. This costs nothing extra and protects you from tile being applied over an improperly waterproofed surface — which leads to failure and full tile removal to re-waterproof.
