Shower Pan Leak Detection in Dallas & Dallas, TX

Dallas Dominates Shower Pan Leak Detection

Have you noticed that your shower pan is starting to slope or curve? Is there water coming out of the base of your shower pan, and dripping onto the floor, or into the ceiling of the floor directly below? If so, you most likely have a shower pan leak on your hands. It is important to identify the problem and call a professional in a timely fashion, before mold and mildew start to grow, and you begin facing long-term damage.

Signs That Your Shower Pan Is Leaking

There are various signs you are experiencing a shower pan leak. These include:

• You notice a slope or curve in the pan

• You notice mold or mildew growth near the shower pan

• There is missing waterproof caulking

• There are water marks on the ceiling of the floor below

• There is visible water on the floor near your shower pan after each use

If you begin to see one of more of these signs, especially after you shower, then it is best to call a professional immediately.

Our Process of Detecting a Shower Pan Leak

The process of fixing a shower pan leak depends on the cause of the problem. Below is a list of the most common causes of a shower pan leak, along with the average time it takes to fix that particular problem:

• Movement of the shower pan. The process of fixing this problem involves unbolting the shower pan, and trying to affix it back into its rightful, snug spot. This can take anywhere from 2-5 hours, depending on the size of the job.

• Deflection. This is when your shower pan moves whenever you put weight on it. The fix for this particular problem is to make sure that the floor is not already compromised by leaking water. Again, a professional will have to take a look by most likely taking out the shower pan and affixing it properly. This will take about 2-5 hours as well.

• The caulk is wearing away. This is an easier fix, where a professional will re-waterproof certain areas and make sure they are properly caulked. This typically takes 1-3 hours.

• There are missing pieces of tile, or the grout is worn away. This particular problem is fixed by a professional identifying the problem area, and putting in new tile and grout. This type of job typically takes about 2 hours.
