8/3/2021 (Permalink)
Have you inspected your shower stall lately? According to a study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IIBHS), homes more than 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.

Inspect tile and grout every six months, paying attention to loose or cracked tiles or cracked and crumbling grout lines, and 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 eight hours
- If the water level decreases, contact a plumbing professional
