Water Damage Bathroom Floor Repair - Fixing Hidden Water Damage

Today we have a Bathroom Floor Water Damage Repair Project. I recently had to fix some hidden water damage near my bathroom shower stall. I decided to bring you guys along so you can learn from my experience and possibly save yourselves a lot of money if you have a hidden water damage problem in your Bathroom floor or walls. This will be a DIY water damage repair process from start to finish. Water leaking from the shower or tub can lead to expensive water damage repairs if you don't know what you are doing and allow some unscrupulous contractor to take advantage of you. That is why I made this video to show you how easy it is to do a DIY hidden water damage repair yourself and save a ton of money. I will explain how to repair hidden floor water damage caused by water leaking around your shower pan. Keep in mind that water leaking from your bath tub or water leaking from your toilet causing floor damage would be the same type of repair. I also explain how to remove the black mold that can be caused by water leaking in the bathroom. Black mold is easy to remove if you know how to do it.

Thank you so much for sharing this! We just had a very similar thing happen in our bathroom, found it while I was preparing to hang wallpaper. Thanks to your video I was able to fix it and am now just waiting for it to dry so we can sand and finish things up. Thank you!

Thank you, I’m doing everything in my house on my own, I appreciate this so much

[marcomarcello]

This is almost EXACTLY what I have in my bathroom!...thanks for the info...very helpful!...BRAVO!

[kiwiJimbo]

Thank you for the great content. A lot of people don't think to repair the original floor, they immediately think to replace everything and like you said end up paying a fortune to pay someone to fix it when it could be a simple fix like this. Good job mate! 👏

[brucesbees]

Thanks. We have a similar situation with the flooring around our tub right now. Gonna give this a try.

[ragdeandwagyu]

nice, i will do this too in my bathroom. have the same problem. thanks so much

[derekburbank]

Thanks for the info, but what did you do to prevent the water from causing the same damage to happen again over time?

[dewaltman]

What did you use on the subfloor gaps. Thank you in advance for the answer.

[XNamelessXNill]

Can you do a video on how to locate and and stop the leak?

[bryansmith]

I could see a contractor or handyman making this a Complete Remodel? ( Big Time ) Merry Christmas to you and your Family. for future repair like that you should cut back the dry wall and replace it with no rot green board. or cement board. that will eliminate future mold problems in a wet area.

I have a similar issue. very small amount of old water damage that has been corrected and dried. When putting this bondo type material on the subfloor, will thinset adhere for tile?

[dakota]

Wait, how did you fix the hole that was there, I have a hole the tile sunk down in it, what do I fill it with..,

[cmartz]

Does something like this cause structural damage? I have this going on in my bathroom and very nervous lol I’m fixing it this weekend

[carriecody]

Can you show exactly what you re-sealed to stop the water damage from happening again? We have the same problem. We have newly built home and our contrator has no idea how to fix it. Please show what you re-sealed.

This is exactly what my shower wall looks like! However, I’m afraid it’s also all the way around on the lower part of our shower on all three walls.

Is there any way to waterproof (or at least make more water resistant) an area of drywall near the shower? We have an area next to the shower that, due to the way our bathroom is shaped (hard to explain), it regularly gets little splashes and moisture. It not so much due to something not being sealed correctly, but more due to kids taking showers, sometimes they forget to make sure the shower curtain inner liner is all the way covering the area, kids just being kids that get water all over the place, etc. I’d have to monitor every time anyone got in the shower to keep the area totally dry.
I can patch the area and put in new drywall no prob, but I feel like I should do something more to help the drywall not get the moisture.
Any tips?

Thx

When water seeps from over the edge of tub over time, on the floor in from of the tub, does the water also seep under the tub? I am trying to figure this out before I bother cutting up a perfectly good shower, (shower not floor).

[austinfernandez]

what did you lay over the hole before you used the bondo?

[mikeranger]

Your so awesome I wish you can just walk in and do this to a picky owner 😂

How long would it take to replace the floor under the the front 1/2 of the toilet, if it has broken through both both layers of wood? Sheet of linoleum covers floor.
