Do you know how to tell if your shower pan is leaking? In a study conducted 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. Our local team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley has been restoring water damage in DeFuniak Springs for over twenty years. We know that routine inspection of indoor plumbing systems can prevent major problems in many cases. Here are some tips for inspecting your shower pan for leaks from the IBHS:

Inspect tile and grout every six months, pay attention to loose or cracked tiles or 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
