@ayalas.tile.and.s: Most people have no idea why we put rocks around a shower drain… 👀 Tile and grout aren’t the waterproofing. In a traditional shower system, moisture that reaches the mud bed still needs a way to escape through the drain’s weep holes. Those small rocks help prevent mortar from blocking them while we pack and shape the shower floor. It’s a small detail—but without proper drainage, moisture can remain trapped underneath the tile. The finished tile gets the attention, but the work underneath is what makes the shower last. 🔥 Did you know what those rocks were for? 📍 Serving LA, the South Bay & surrounding areas 📩 DM “SHOWER” for an estimate Ayala’s Tile & Stone #bathroom #construction #contractor #prep #float
