Why 1960s-80s Citrus Heights Bathrooms Fail
Every Bathroom Service Citrus Heights Renovations Provides
Curbless Walk-In Shower Conversion
Citrus Heights Renovations builds curbless (zero-threshold) walk-in showers by sloping the concrete subfloor using a precision-cut Schluter Kerdi-Board curb frame poured at a 3/16 inch per foot slope toward the linear drain. A linear drain (Schluter Kerdi-Line or equivalent) runs the full width of the shower wall for maximum water capture. The shower entry has no step. This is the safest shower design for all ages and is required for ADA compliance.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Many Citrus Heights homeowners no longer use the bathtub. Citrus Heights Renovations removes the tub, fills the alcove with a custom shower using Schluter Kerdi waterproofing, and installs a full-height porcelain tile surround in the existing footprint. This conversion adds usable shower space and eliminates the step-over tub hazard for aging-in-place homeowners.
Schluter Kerdi Waterproof Membrane System
Citrus Heights Renovations installs Schluter Kerdi bonded waterproof membrane over cement board backer on all shower walls. The membrane is bonded with unmodified thinset and covered with an integrated Kerdi-Band overlap at all corners and seams. This system is flood-tested with a filled drain plug before any tile is set. No moisture reaches the framing behind the membrane.
ADA Grab Bar and Blocking Installation
ADA guidelines specify grab bars at 33–36 inches from the finished floor near the toilet and at 36 inches inside the shower. Citrus Heights Renovations installs 3/4-inch plywood blocking behind the tile substrate during the rough-in phase so bars can be mounted anywhere in the block zone without locating a stud. Blocking supports Kohler Grab Bar Series rated to 250 lbs.
Cast Iron DWV Drain Line Replacement
Citrus Heights ranch homes built before 1975 frequently have cast iron soil and drain lines under the slab. Cast iron corrodes from the inside. Scale buildup narrows the pipe. Drain-flow problems appear first in bathroom sinks and showers. Citrus Heights Renovations uses a Ridgid SeeSnake drain camera to inspect existing drain condition before writing the plumbing scope. If cast iron is degraded, we cut through the slab and replace the drain with Schedule 40 PVC. The slab is saw-cut, excavated, and repoured with 3,000 PSI concrete after the new pipe is installed. This work is permitted and inspected under California Plumbing Code.
Comfort-Height Toilet Installation
Standard toilet seats sit at 14–15 inches from the floor. Comfort-height (ADA-height) toilets sit at 17–19 inches. This height is easier for homeowners with knee or hip limitations to use. Citrus Heights Renovations installs TOTO Drake or Kohler Cimarron comfort-height toilets in all aging-in-place bathroom scopes. Water supply line and wax ring are replaced at installation. Permit required for new drain rough-in.
Bathroom Exhaust Fan Upgrade
California Title 24 and California Mechanical Code Section 402 require bathroom exhaust ventilation at a minimum of 50 CFM for intermittent operation. Ranch-era bathrooms in Citrus Heights often have no exhaust fan or have an underpowered unit that exhausts into the attic rather than outside. Citrus Heights Renovations installs Panasonic WhisperCeiling or Broan ENERGY STAR-rated exhaust fans vented through the roof with a low-profile cap. This is permitted and inspected.
Porcelain and Stone Tile Setting
Citrus Heights Renovations sets porcelain tile up to 24x24 inches using large-format back-buttered installation on a ridged trowel pattern. Lippage is controlled by Raimondi tile leveling clips and wedges on all large-format installations. Grout selection is limited to Laticrete SpectraLOCK epoxy grout in wet areas — no sanded or unsanded Portland-based grout in the shower surround, which can harbor mold.
4-STEP PROCESS
How Citrus Heights Renovations Runs Your Bathroom Remodel
01
Moisture and Drain Mapping
Citrus Heights Renovations documents existing moisture intrusion levels and drain-line conditions before any work is scoped or priced. You will not discover surprises after demolition starts.
02
Waterproofing Plan
Every scope includes a waterproofing specification. We document which membrane system is used, the brand of drain assembly, the thinset type, and the grout specification. These details appear in your written scope.
03
Permit and Construction
One permit. One project manager. One phone number. All City of Citrus Heights inspections are coordinated by Citrus Heights Renovations.
04
Flood Test Before Tile
Before any tile is installed, we plug the drain and flood the shower pan for 24 hours. Zero leakage is required before tile-setting begins.
