        "text": "Do not assume new tile will solve a leaking shower. The installer should identify whether water is entering through failed seals, plumbing, the pan, wall penetrations, or the waterproofing layer before finishes are selected. Context: Covering damaged materials can hide the source and leave framing or adjacent finishes exposed to continuing moisture. Key factors: where staining appears; whether the leak occurs only during shower use; drain and valve locations; and whether the wall or floor feels soft. Practical guidance: Stop using the shower if water is reaching electrical components or causing rapid damage, document affected areas, and request a moisture and assembly assessment. A replacement scope from Elite Remodeling & Design can account for demolition findings instead of assuming the visible surface tells the whole story.",

The cause may be plumbing, seals, penetrations, the pan, or failed waterproofing. Ask for a scope that explains what will be opened, repaired, tested, and rebuilt."
