Water management
The drain, slope, curb or curbless transition, penetrations, and waterproofing continuity are checked as one assembly.
DFW trade scope
Tile Setting & Wet-Area Waterproofing
A durable tile installation starts below the tile. TrueForm defines substrate correction, waterproofing, slope, drains, transitions, layout, edge treatment, and grout before the finish surface is treated as the scope.
Written scope
What this specialty page puts on the table
The signed proposal controls the actual project. This page is the checklist used to make the proposal more complete.
- Substrate and flatness review
- Wet-zone waterproofing and drain discussion
- Layout, grout-joint, niche, edge, and transition planning
- Coordination with glass, plumbing trim, vanities, and flooring
Field checks
The details that change method, price, or sequence
Layout discipline
Centered features, visible cuts, niche alignment, pattern repeat, and edge profiles are discussed before setting begins.
Movement and transitions
Changes of plane and adjoining floors need suitable joints and heights; grout is not a substitute for movement planning.
Dependencies to resolve
- Selected tile with confirmed size and thickness
- Plumbing rough-in locations
- Approved shower glass approach
- Verified substrate and framing conditions
Open conditions stay visible
- Hidden water-damage repair
- Structural floor correction
- Fixture relocation or custom glass unless listed
Direct answers
Questions homeowners ask before the walkthrough
Do you waterproof behind shower tile?
The written scope identifies the selected wet-area assembly and penetrations; tile and grout alone are not described as waterproofing.
Can a shower be made curbless?
Possibly, but framing depth, drain location, floor height, joist direction, and adjacent-room transitions must be checked first.
