Leaking shower pans are responsible for over half of shower stall water damage incidents, according to a study conducted by the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety (IBHS). So how can you tell if your shower pan is leaking? Our local Chino/Chino Hills team is a trusted leader in water damage restoration services in Butterfield Ranch. We suggest routinely inspecting your shower pan and making repairs as needed to prevent or minimize water leaks or damage. Here are some loss prevention and maintenance tips for showers from the IBHS:

Inspect the 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 every year 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
