Leaking shower in Morningside? 

The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IIBHS) reports that homes over twenty years old were 37 percent more likely to have water damage involving a shower, and more than half of these claims involved a damaged shower stall. SERVPRO® of Miami Beach responds to water damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Morningside. Many of these emergencies may have been prevented by routine and inspection of the home’s plumbing systems. Often, small leaks can be repaired before they can become a larger problem.

The IIBHS offers these helpful tips for maintaining your shower pan and checking it for leaks:

Inspect tile and grout every six months, paying attention to lose or cracked tiles or cracked and crumbling grout lines and repair as needed.

Test the shower pan annually by:

1. Blocking the drain
2. Fill the shower stall with about one inch of water
3. Use a pencil to mark the waterline
4. Leave the water standing in the shower pan for 8 hours
5. If the water level decreases, contact a plumbing professional.
