Waterproofing is a critical step in any bathroom renovation, protecting your space from water damage, mold, and structural issues. Bathrooms are high-moisture areas, and without proper waterproofing, water can seep into walls, floors, and substructures, leading to costly repairs. Key areas requiring waterproofing include:

• Shower walls and floors
• Bathtub surrounds
• Areas around sinks and vanities

Why Waterproofing Matters:

1. Prevents Water Damage: Keeps walls, floors, and fixtures safe from long-term moisture exposure.
2. Stops Mold and Mildew: Eliminates dampness that encourages mold growth, ensuring a healthier environment.
3. Increases Longevity: Protects materials like tiles and grout, ensuring your bathroom looks great for years.
4. Safeguards Your Investment: Ensures your renovation lasts, preventing water-related issues from compromising your new space.
