        "text": "Waterproofing is a system, not just a coating applied to visible tile. The shower area needs compatible waterproof layers, properly treated seams and penetrations, a correctly sloped base, and a drain connection that prevents water from reaching framing and adjacent finishes. Elite Remodeling & Design can account for waterproofing during the construction planning stage rather than treating it as a final cosmetic step. Key factors include: - Shower pan or base condition - Wall transitions and corners - Valve and pipe penetrations - Threshold, niche, and bench details. Ask what waterproofing system will be used and how it is inspected before tile covers it. Photographing concealed work can also preserve a useful project record.",
