Waterproofing.
A shower that leaks behind the tile doesn't show damage immediately.
It shows up 2โ5 years later: soft drywall, mold behind the wall, failed tile.
By then the tile, the framing, and sometimes the subfloor need to be replaced.
Proper waterproofing means:
โ Waterproof membrane on all shower walls (not just the floor pan)
โ Correct slope on the shower floor (1/4 inch per foot minimum)
โ Waterproofed corners and transitions
โ No paper-faced drywall in wet areas
This is where cutting corners costs the most over time. We don't cut them.
