Waterproofing scope checklist
- Demolition limits and condition of framing or subfloor
- Drain location and finished slope to the drain
- Compatible pan, wall-board and membrane components
- Seams, corners, curbs, niches and plumbing penetrations
- Inspection or water-test requirements for the selected assembly
Treat waterproofing as a complete assembly
Tile and grout are finish surfaces, not the entire water-management system. The drain, sloped base, wall substrate, membrane, seams and penetrations must be planned together using components approved for the selected installation method.
Inspect what demolition reveals
Previous leaks, movement, swollen subfloor or out-of-square framing can change the scope. Those conditions should be documented before covering the walls so repair decisions and any concealed-condition changes remain clear.
Verify before tile conceals the work
Required inspections and testing depend on the assembly and local authority. The scope should identify who coordinates them and when tile may begin, while photographs preserve a record of corners, penetrations and other details that will no longer be visible.
Luna's documented Midlothian bathroom case shows completed shower workmanship. The waterproofing design for a Frisco property must still be based on that bathroom's actual conditions.
What to inspect
Confirm the approved substrate and waterproofing method before tile installation begins.
Planning the work
Corners, niches, benches, curbs, valves and drain transitions deserve special attention because small gaps can create hidden damage.
Avoiding repeat problems
Flood testing or manufacturer-required checks should happen before finish materials cover the assembly.
