Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is currently investigating reports of widespread failure in the Schluter Kerdi waterproofing system, a product commonly used in tiled showers across the United States. Marketed as a complete, leak-proof shower solution, the Kerdi system is now facing consumer complaints involving seam failures, leaking shower pans, and hidden water damage.
Alleged Waterproofing Failures & Misleading Claims
The Kerdi waterproofing system is promoted as a permanent, reliable barrier against water intrusion. However, homeowners report serious issues developing within just a few years of installation, including:
-
Water leaking into subfloors and ceilings below
-
Mold growth behind tile walls
-
Tile detachment due to trapped moisture
-
Complete system failure at seams and pan liners
Despite these widespread complaints, Schluter has continued to market the Kerdi system as a guaranteed waterproof solution, while allegedly offering limited or no warranty relief to affected consumers.
Costly Repairs and Builder Pushback
Numerous homeowners have reported:
-
Repair costs exceeding $20,000 due to water damage
-
Full shower rebuilds required within 2–3 years of installation
-
Homebuilders refusing service, citing installer error rather than product defect
