Recognizing that you have a shower or bathtub leak is easy, but understanding the exact source and how to repair it may be a challenge. Here are some basic tips to help you pinpoint your leak in Pompano Beach, FL.

3 Kinds of Shower Leaks

You may have noticed your bathtub leak by seeing wet floorboards or a stained ceiling directly under the bathroom. A combination of simple tests and inspection can help determine what kind of leak you have.

1. Tiles. Clues that your tiles are leaking include noticeable grout problems, like crumbling, broken pieces and mold growth.

2. Splash. Your shower door may need some maintenance. Look for clues like water on the floor, or soaked walls and baseboards just outside the shower area. Test for this by splashing the shower door with some water and watch to see if it flows outside the door.

3. Drain. A shower pan leak or bathtub drain leak will probably cause a lot more damage than a splash leak. You may notice a wet ceiling in the room or crawlspace below. You can test for a drain pan leak by getting a reliable test plug from the hardware store. Plug the drain and fill the basin with water. Note the water level and check it after an hour to see if there has been any water loss. If there has, then you probably have a crack in the seal around your drain or in the drain pan.

Getting Help

Now you know how to identify the source of a shower or bathtub leak. Hopefully, it’s simple to resolve, like replacing a shower door or fresh caulk.
