        "text": "You should replace your shower when you see chronic grout failure, loose tiles, recurring mold behind walls, or soft flooring near the base. Persistent water stains on ceilings below the bathroom or spongy subfloors around the shower curb indicate hidden moisture damage that topical caulk cannot solve. Surface repairs do not fix failed waterproofing membranes or rotten framing. A complete tear-out allows contractors to repair structural wood, eliminate mold, replace damaged drywall, and rebuild a fully watertight shower system.",
