Bathroom Remodeling in Northside, Cincinnati, OH

Often, though the low ground toward Mill Creek shapes how. Before any layout we find where the house drain leaves the foundation and compare it with the depth of the new shower and toilet: if they would sit lower, they need a pump-up ejector basin. In a house this old we also camera-scope the line out to the street, since a basement bath adds load to a sewer lateral that may be a century old and is the owner’s responsibility.

We check rather than assume. Houses of this era were framed for lighter loads, so we assess the joists and build up the subfloor where needed. Tile over a flexing floor cracks regardless of how well it is laid.
