What we see on LaSalle-Peru homes
69.1% of the housing in LaSalle-Peru predates 1970, and the largest single band of it went up between 1940 and 1970. 29.7% of it predates 1940, which usually means cast iron, a floor that has taken eighty years of water, and a room never laid out for a modern shower. The cast iron goes with us.
Bathrooms in postwar houses are typically five feet across with the tub at one end, and the tile is either original or an eighties refresh laid over the top of it. Where those rooms fail is the grout at the tub-to-wall joint. Water has been getting behind it for years by the time anyone notices the floor flexing. Once the surround is out we can see how far it traveled, and that is the point where the honest scope of the job becomes clear. On a full remodel the order is what matters: the room comes out, whatever is behind the walls gets put right, and only then does anything new go in.
