How to Spot Shower Damage and Choose Repairs or Replacement
Feb 13, 2023Sometimes the need for shower repairs is obvious. You may notice one or more cracks in the shower pan below your feet. You may see water trickling from the place where the shower fittings meet the wall tiles. Or you may be wading through ankle-deep water long before you’re finished bathing and washing your hair.
There are other times when you suspect that your shower is not performing properly, but you’re not sure where the problem is. Some of the less-obvious clues that point to shower damage include:
- Loose tiles or curling flooring around the outside of the shower
- Peeling or flaking paint in your bathroom
- A persistent musty smell in the bathroom and even in an adjacent room
Don’t Procrastinate When It Comes to Shower Repairs or Replacement
You don’t want to ignore the signs of shower damage, especially if you suspect your shower is leaking. A leaky shower can lead to hidden wood rot and mold in your walls, ceiling, and floors—damage that could be costly to repair. In some cases, you may need to hire a plumber to locate the source of the leak and repair it.
What Are Some Typical Causes of Shower Damage?
In many cases, the components that make up your shower have become worn and simply need to be replaced. However, if your shower is old, was built with low-quality materials, or was improperly installed, you may have bigger problems on your hands. Your best option may be to replace your shower altogether. If so, you can turn to Jacuzzi Bath Remodel for a beautiful new walk-in shower or bathtub-and-shower combo crafted from exceptionally hardy, low-maintenance materials that are backed by an industry-leading warranty.
