        "text": "Proper floor preparation is essential because a filled walk-in tub with an occupant can weigh over 800 pounds. Once the old fixture is removed, subflooring must be inspected for existing water damage or dry rot and reinforced if joists show deflection. The surface must also be completely level; uneven floors can cause the walk-in tub door frame to twist slightly out of square, leading to water leaks at the seal. HH Remodeling handles subfloor repairs and leveling directly before the tub is set and plumbed.",
