A hot mop sub that keeps your job moving

For general contractors, builders and tile setters across Orange County: we show up when we say, mop the pan, flood test it and hand it off ready for inspection and tile.

The short answer

Call or send the job details, tell us when framing and the drain will be ready, and we'll fit the hot mop in between your plumber and your tile setter. You get a flood-tested pan, ready for the city inspection, so the tile crew can start on schedule.

How we work with your crew

• Schedule-friendly. Tell us your timeline and we'll plan around it, including multiple showers on one job.
• One clear scope. The pan, the walls above curb height, the curb and the drain clamp, plus benches, niches and tub decks when the plans call for them.
• Tested before handoff. Every pan is flood tested, and it's ready for the inspector when you need it.
• Straight communication. If something on site isn't ready, we tell you right away instead of mopping over a problem.

Ready-for-hot-mop checklist

Having these done before we arrive keeps the visit short and the pan right:

• Framing complete. Walls, blocking and the curb framed solid, with no movement.
• Drain body set. A clamping-ring drain installed at the right height by the plumber.
• Sloped base, if specified. Let us know whether the job calls for one and who's doing it.
• Bench, niche and deck framing done. Anything to be mopped has to be built first.
• Area clean and clear. Debris, nails and dust removed; access to the bathroom open.
• Inspection timing. Tell us when the inspection is booked so the pan is ready with water in it.

The handoff to the tile setter

Once the flood test passes (and the inspection, if required), the pan is yours. A few things protect it from there:

• Keep the drain's weep holes clear when the mortar bed goes in.
• Don't fasten through the membrane low on the walls or the curb; keep fasteners above the top of the pan.
• Protect the membrane from tools and foot traffic until it's covered.

Billing and payment

We accept major cards, check, cash, Zelle and Venmo. Ask us about how you'd like to handle multiple showers or recurring work.

Serving builders across Orange County

We work with contractors and tile setters throughout Orange County, from Irvine, Tustin and Costa Mesa to San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente. We're a division of Luxury Builders CA, a licensed and insured general contractor in Trabuco Canyon, so we understand how a job site runs.

Contractor questions

How far ahead should I schedule the hot mop?

As soon as you know when framing and the drain will be ready. Call (949) 446-4413 with the address and timeline and we'll lock in a date.

Who sets the drain?

The plumber sets the drain body. We set the membrane into it and the clamping ring locks it down.

Do you do multiple showers on one job?

Yes. Tell us how many showers, tub decks and benches are on the job and we'll plan them together.

Will you be there for the inspection?

We'll have the pan flood tested and ready when your inspection is booked. Let us know the date and we'll coordinate.
