I have poured my concrete floor (100mm) on top of 100mm of kingspan insulation.
I have just under 40mm to play with to fit underfloor heating and tiles to bring it up to finished floor level.

So you've done the tanking in your wet area to protect the substrate and prevent water ingress to lower floors etc etc etc..... but if water does get through to your tanking, where does it go from there? My best guess is that it can only expunge back through the grout, what's your thoughts?

We have had a flood in our bathroom. Some of our granite tiles have become discoloured/darker/wet looking. It looks to me ( no tiler) that water has got underneath the tiles and has soaked in to the porous underside. Does anone know if we can expect them to dry out.
Thanks

When I woke up this morning, I turned on the bathtub faucet, but once I switched it over to the hot side, water stopped coming out (as if I was putting it into the off position).
I just recently changed my showerhead with one of those that has a 6ft cord on it...not sure if that is related.
