Have a job in a restaurant where the Mgrs office backs up to the dishwashing area. Dishwashing area is very wet and it drenches the wall of Mgrs office and ALSO floods inside the office.
Wet wall has Tileboard (1/4″ thick w/ vinyl coating) on it, a tile base, and a tile floor. Inside of the office is the same.
What can I do to keep office from flooding. Can I seal the wall and base some way to keep water out or does major surgery need to be done?
Have already tried siliconing where base meets wall and any cracks I saw, to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is a design issue, and short of demoing and doing it right, and can not advise any quick fix.
If I was spec'ing this out, I would cover the the walls and floor of the wet room with a pvc membrane, upturning the floor membrane about 4" up the wall and following through with a wall membrane over the CBU from about 6 feet down to the upturn.

Stainless steel on the wall formed to force any water that hits it to run off to the sink.

Go buy some acylic liquid floor wax. Clean and dry the floor realy well. The grout lines will have to be done a couple times or more until the lines do not absorb anymore liquid floor wax.
