We restore mold and water damage in Walton County.

Do you know that leaking shower pans can contribute to mold infestations? Our local Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley teams have been remediating water-related mold damage for over twenty years in DeFuniak Springs. According to a study done by the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety (IBHS), over half of the shower stall water damage incidents were related to a faulty shower pan. So, if you have a faulty shower pan, you may have hidden water and mold damage. Here are some loss prevention and maintenance tips for showers from the IBHS:

Inspect 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 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
