What Should Be Waterproofed Before Installing a New Walk-In Shower?

Before installing a new walk-in shower, the shower floor, walls, corners, joints, drain connections, curb, niches, benches, and plumbing penetrations must be properly waterproofed. These areas are constantly exposed to moisture and can develop hidden leaks if they are not protected. In Florida, where humidity and moisture are common concerns, a continuous waterproofing system helps prevent mold, structural deterioration, and expensive repairs.
