        "text": "Yes, walk-in showers require robust and specialized waterproofing to prevent leaks and mold growth. Because they often lack a curb or have a low one, and water can potentially extend further into the bathroom floor area, meticulous waterproofing of the entire shower pan and wall surfaces up to a specific height is critical. We utilize industry-standard waterproofing membranes and techniques to ensure your shower is completely sealed and protected against moisture intrusion, adhering to all local building codes.",
