        "text": "Yes, caulking is an essential step during bathroom trim installation to create a watertight barrier against moisture intrusion. Steam from showers and splashes from sinks or tubs can easily migrate behind unsealed baseboards, leading to mildew, damaged drywall, or subfloor rot. Installers use a flexible, mold- and mildew-resistant acrylic or silicone caulk along the top edge of the trim where it meets the wall, at inside corner joints, and along the floor joint if appropriate. Proper caulking also conceals small wall irregularities, giving the finished bathroom a seamless, professional look.",
