Water Damage in the Bathroom
There is no other room in your home that has the possibility of water damage greater than the bathroom. We may not think about it but next time you walk into your bathroom, stop and look around. You will discover that water is a vital and daily part of any task you complete in the bathroom. In the bathroom you have not only constant running water but accumulating steam as well so how can you prevent water damage in your bathroom?
The key to preventing water damage in the bathroom is really diligence. You need to inspect and monitor your bathroom fixtures for damage and leeks on a consistent basis. Every time you use your bathroom look for water puddles and dripping fixtures. Then do a major inspection at least once every three to four months. Inspecting the bathroom for water damage is an easy process. Detailed inspections will allow you to keep a close eye on your bathroom but keep in mind, you must repair any water damage discovered before it becomes a large problem.
Start inspecting your bathroom for water damage by inspecting your bathtub and shower. Look for broken tiles and grout that will need to replaced. Check for cracks in the caulking between your bathtub and the wall. When inspecting your bathtub and shower you should keep an eye out for any are that water could seep into. Then confirm that your faucets and your drains are working as they should be. You may even want to run your hands along the walls of the shower to confirm that there are no soft spots. If you find any areas that appear to be damaged, consult a professional on how to proceed.
Next, move on to your sinks and cabinets. Again, look for any broken tiles or caulking around the sink, then head under the sink and inspect the cabinet. Your cabinet should be dry and not musty smelling. Dampness in a cabinet is a warning sign for potential water damage. Stop the damage before it can start by inspecting regularly and resolving any issues before they become large problems.
Finally, inspect your toilet. Your toilets hold incredible amounts of water and has the potential of causing great amounts of water damage to your home. When completing your inspection, check all the water lines and look carefully for any cracks in the seals. Look for leaks around your toilet’s seat, in the hoses, or under the tank. If the floor around your toilet feels soft or you discover cracks or leaks, seek the assistance of a professional before attempting any repairs.
Inspecting your bathroom for water leaks or water damage is only the first step in keeping your home safe. Make sure you know where the bathroom water valves and your home’s main water cutoff are located. You may want to test the valves periodically as well. Even with diligent inspections and attention, you may find yourself facing a busted pipe or broken fixture in your bathroom and knowing how to shut off the water will be vital to protecting your bathroom for severe water damage.
