CASE STUDY / BATHROOMS

Waxhaw Primary Bath Retreat — primary-bath renovation.

Project Overview

A primary-bath transformation on a well-and-septic property in Union County. The room was rebuilt from the systems outward — ventilation, waterproofing, and plumbing first — then finished to a spa standard that will stay dry for decades.

Client Objective

Turn a standard 2000s primary bath into a retreat — and fix the moisture and ventilation issues that had quietly built up behind the finishes.

Scope of Work

Full primary-bath transformation: layout reconfiguration, custom tile and stone, freestanding tub, walk-in shower, and ventilation upgrade.

Construction Challenges

The existing ventilation was undersized and the plumbing stack limited layout options. On a well-and-septic property, every fixture decision had to respect system capacity.

Sela Development's Solution

We rebuilt the room from the systems outward: new ventilation sized to the space, modern waterproofing behind every wet wall, plumbing updated within the existing stack's capacity, then tile and fixture installation to a luxury standard.

Electrical & Plumbing Work

Ventilation upgrade, full waterproofing system, plumbing modernization, and dedicated circuits for fixtures and heated flooring.
