Project Overview
This inner-city Kensington home from the 1960s required a full remodel due to aging plumbing and prior shortcut renovations. The layout was modified to improve storage and airflow.
Moisture staining behind tile indicated long-term sealant failure that had been patched over rather than properly repaired. The project treated the root cause before any new finishes were installed.
Existing Conditions
Inspection revealed:
- Failing waterproof membrane
- Corroded supply lines
- Outdated lighting
- Limited storage
- Moisture staining behind tile from long-term sealant failure
Scope of Work
Layout changes were limited to what improved function — no unnecessary plumbing relocation.
Outcome
The updated bathroom supports improved ventilation and more usable storage. Supply line replacement eliminates the risk of corrosion-related failures that had caused previous surface damage.
Older inner-city homes benefit most from remodels that address hidden systems first. Cosmetic upgrades applied over failing infrastructure rarely hold long-term.
