Reducing your risk - Shower Stall

 

 

Here are some tips for reducing your risk of water damage from shower stalls:

 

• Inspect tile and grout every six months, paying attention to loose or cracked tiles and cracked or crumbling grout lines. Repair as needed.

 

• Test the shower pan annually by: 

1. Blocking the floor drain.
2. Filling the shower stall with approximately one inch of water.
3. Using a pencil to mark the water line.
4. Leaving the water standing in the shower pan for eight hours.
5. If the water level decreases, contact a plumbing professional.
