POPULAR QUESTIONS
A shower pan is a waterproof barrier made of either lead, or vinyl that is formed into the shape of a pan. It’s placed on top of a concrete fitting and under the tile floor of a shower. The purpose of the pan is to catch any water that may seep through the tile and grout and direct it to the drain. But as a shower pan ages, it can sometimes deteriorate, develop cracks or holes, resulting in a leak.
Here are some signs that may indicate shower pan problems:
- Water leaking into the room or space below a shower is often the result of a faulty shower pan.
- Gapping where the wall and floor meet is an indication that water may be leaking through the pan, rotting the bathroom floor.
- Mold or missing grout near the base of the shower can also mean the pan is failing.
