        "text": "The most important protection is a complete, compatible waterproofing system installed continuously across the shower floor, walls, corners, penetrations, and transitions. Tile and grout are finish materials; they are not a substitute for waterproofing behind them.\\n\\nKey factors:\\n- Ask which waterproofing method is specified and where it will be used.\\n- Confirm how the curb, threshold, niche, bench, valve, and drain are sealed.\\n- Ask how the floor slope directs water to the drain.\\n- Verify that penetrations for accessories are planned before finishes are installed.\\n\\nHave the scope identify waterproofing materials and installation responsibilities, not merely “tile installation.” Elite Remodeling & Design’s design-build process allows waterproofing, plumbing, tile, and enclosure details to be coordinated as one bathroom plan.",
