Anyone tearout a vapor barrier/cement board/vapor barrier shower wall? Find any moisture in the cbd?
What way could we test this theory?

How true! I remember a plumber several years ago telling me no one does a preslope except for me and one other guy in an $$$$$ suburb.This guy. I've torn out hundreds of showers. Maybe 5 have been built properly. Three of those were mud. I don't suspect I'll ever find one that someone went through the trouble of doing two moisture barriers. Hell, I'm surprised to find one nowadays lol. I can't remember the last time I demoed a pan that was built right....
Hey things are a little quiet around here. Thought I'd shake it up a bit.damn, just looked to see who the op was again... you know what the hell is out there! and how to prove it! or at least i thought you did... lol
Why?I for one, do not buy into the "sandwich".
I only use liquid or sheet membranes. I cannot stand the idea of a mud bed sitting there soaked in water - pre-slope and weep holes or not. Why have it if it's not necessary?ok...so while you guys are here....lol, what do you recommend.....
pre slope with mortar, moisture barrier, then the final slope with mortar, then tile? have one coming up soon....so double checking....and since you guys have not seen one done right in ages, can you tell me what youd like to see?
