Showered by shower pan damage in Littleton?
Do you know how to tell if your shower pan is leaking? According to a study done by the Insurance Institute from Business and Home Safety (IBHS), over half of the shower stall water damage incidents were related to a faulty shower pan. SERVPRO® of Denver West has been restoring water damage in Littleton for years, and we know that routine inspection may have prevented or minimized the damage caused in some cases. Here are some loss prevention and maintenance tips for showers from the IBHS:
Inspect tile and grout every six months, paying attention to loose or cracked tiles or cracked and crumbling grout lines. Repair as needed.
Test the shower pan annually by:
- Blocking the drain
- Fill the shower stall with about one inch of water
- Use a pencil to mark the waterline
- Leave the water standing in the shower pan for 8 hours
- If the water level decreases, contact a plumbing professional
