Methods for installing underlayment systems include the steps of laying at least one piece of a pre-formed board over at least one first portion surface area of a sub-floor. The pre-formed board is preferably fire-resistant gypsum board, which may also be water- and/or moisture-resistant. A second portion surface area of the sub-floor, which is adjacent to each first portion surface area, is designated to receive a poured underlayment after a tub is installed over the laid at least one piece of pre-formed board. In some instances, a sound mat may be laid over each first portion surface area of the sub-floor, prior to laying the at least one piece of the pre-formed board, and, then, another sound mat may be laid over the second portion surface area of the sub-floor, after laying the at least one piece of pre-formed board and prior to pouring the poured underlayment.

1. A method for installing an underlayment for a floor of a dwelling, the method comprising: laying at least one piece of a pre-formed board having a top surface and side edge over at least one first portion surface area of a sub-floor, the board having a substantially constant thickness throughout, each first portion surface area having a size approximately equal to a footprint of a tub and being located adjacent to a second portion surface area of the sub-floor; andsubsequent to installing the tub over the top surface of the at least one piece of pre-formed board, pouring an underlayment over the second portion surface area of the sub-floor to cover the second portion surface area at a substantially constant thickness throughout, wherein pouring the underlayment comprises pouring the underlayment so the underlayment abuts the side edge of the at least one piece of board. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one piece of the pre-formed board comprises a plurality of pieces, and laying the plurality of pieces comprises placing the pieces edge-to-edge to cover each first portion surface area of the sub-floor. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising patching a seam between adjacent edges of the plurality of pieces of the pre-formed board, after laying the plurality of pieces and before the tub is installed. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising securing the at least one piece of the pre-formed board to the sub-floor, after laying the at least one piece and before the tub is installed. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising priming the second portion surface area of the sub-floor, after the tub is installed and before pouring the underlayment. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising laying a sound mat over each first portion surface area of the sub-floor, prior to laying the at least one piece of the pre-formed board, such that the sound mat extends between the first portion surface area and the at least one piece of the laid pre-formed board. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the at least one piece of the pre-formed board comprises a first piece and a second piece, the first piece being laid directly over the sound mat and the second piece being laid over the first piece, such that the first piece of the pre-formed board extends between the sound mat and the second piece of the pre-formed board. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising securing the first piece of the pre-formed board to the second piece of the pre-formed board, before the tub is installed. 9. The method of claim 6, further comprising laying another sound mat over the second portion surface area of the sub-floor, after the tub is installed and before pouring the underlayment, so that other the sound mat extends between the second portion surface area and the poured underlayment. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising priming a surface of the other sound mat, the primed surface being that which interfaces with the poured underlayment. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the pre-formed board is fire-resistant and water-resistant. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the dwelling is a multi-family dwelling and the at least one first portion surface area comprises a plurality of first portion surface areas. 13. A method for preparing a sub-floor for installation of a poured underlayment, the sub-floor including at least one first portion surface area and a second portion surface area, the sub-floor being part of a dwelling under construction, and the method comprising laying at least one piece of a pre-formed fire-resistant board having a top surface and an exposed edge over each first portion surface area of the sub-floor, the board having a substantially constant thickness throughout, each first portion surface area having a size approximately equal to a footprint of a tub and being located adjacent to the second portion surface area, each second portion surface area being left exposed to receive the poured underlayment thereover, wherein laying the at least one piece of pre-formed fire-resistant board over each first portion comprising laying the at least one piece of pre-formed fire-resistant board with the exposed edge facing the second portion surface area such that, when an underlayment is poured over the second portion surface area subsequent to installing the tub over the top surface of the at least one piece of the board, the underlayment abuts the exposed edge of the at least one piece of pre-formed fire-resistant board. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the at least one piece of the pre-formed board comprises a plurality of pieces of the board, and laying the plurality of pieces comprises placing the pieces edge-to-edge to cover each first portion surface area of the sub-floor. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising patching a seam between adjacent edges of the plurality of pieces of the board, after laying the plurality of pieces. 16. The method of claim 13, further comprising securing the at least one piece of the pre-formed board to the sub-floor, after laying the at least one piece. 17. The method of claim 13, further comprising priming the second portion surface area of the sub-floor, after laying the at least one piece of the pre-formed board, to receive the poured underlayment. 18. The method of claim 13, further comprising trimming an exposed edge of the at least one piece of the laid pre-formed board, after the tub is installed, such that the trimmed exposed edge is approximately flush with an edge of the installed tub. 19. The method of claim 13, further comprising laying a sound mat over each first portion surface area of the sub-floor, prior to laying the at least one piece of the pre-formed board, such that the sound mat extends between each first portion surface area and the at least one piece of the laid board. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the at least one piece of the pre-formed board comprises a first piece and a second piece, the first piece being laid directly over the sound mat and the second piece being laid over the first piece, such that the first piece of the board extends between the sound mat and the second piece of the board. 21. The method of claim 20, further comprising securing the first piece of pre-formed board to the second piece of the pre-formed board. 22. The method of claim 19, further comprising trimming an exposed edge of at least one of: the sound mat, the first piece of the pre-formed board and the second piece of the pre-formed board, after the tub is installed, such that the trimmed exposed edge is approximately flush with an edge of the installed tub. 23. The method of claim 19, further comprising laying another sound mat over the second portion surface area of the sub-floor, after laying the at least one piece of the pre-formed board. 24. The method of claim 23, further comprising priming the exposed surface of the other sound mat to receive the poured underlayment. 25. The method of claim 13, wherein the pre-formed fire-resistant board is also water-resistant. 26. The method of claim 13, wherein the sub-floor is part of a multi-family dwelling, and the at least one first portion surface area comprises a plurality of first portion surface areas.
