3. Clearing the Space — The existing shower enclosure is demolished while keeping adjacent surfaces safe. The team evaluates the framing and plumbing for water damage or rot that require repair before installation starts.
4. Plumbing Rough-In and Waterproofing — Pipe relocations or valve upgrades happen during this phase before walls are closed. Moisture-resistant backer board gets installed throughout the enclosure to prevent future water infiltration.
