        "text": "Yes, an old, cramped, or leaking shower stall can be removed and converted into a larger walk-in shower or an accessible roll-in unit. Removing the existing unit exposes the floor structure, allowing adjustments to the subfloor height, framing for built-in shower niches or benches, and the installation of backing for ADA grab bars. A curbless or barrier-free shower also requires a specific drain slope and waterproof pan installation, making the tear-out phase essential for establishing proper clearances.",
