Water Damage Restoration for Your Bathroom

Your Reading home can experience water damage from several different sources, many of which you wouldn’t expect. Many times, water can rise from a basement that is flooded or come from a leaky ceiling. Many people do not understand that water damage can come from inside their walls. If you are unsure of where the water is coming from, it could result from your bathroom.

Realizing there is water damage in your Reading bathroom is not a happy event. It is even worse when you have no idea what is causing the leak. You need the professional help of SERVPRO staff, as we are trained to find hidden water and moisture. We take the time to correct the issue and then dry the affected area to prevent additional damage.

Because it is a process that happens over time, most people do not realize water damage is taking place from their shower. If you have an issue, SERVPRO techs use special moisture meters to find where the water is coming from, and we can correct the problem.

Situations That Can Lead to Water Damage

Various reasons can cause water to leak out of the shower. Many times, bathrooms that use shower curtains instead of a door let water escape and drip down to the floor. You can fix this by shifting the bar that holds the curtain further into the shower. You should also ensure that the curtain is pressed against the wall when you start the water to ensure no water leaves the shower.

When the water is too hot or your showers are too long, water damage can occur. When the water is too hot, the condensation and steam build up along the walls, causing water to collect and then drip down to the floor or seep into floorboards. Moisture also accumulates on the walls and lets mold grow, creating more damage.

If you are aware of your shower habits, and you do not see water leaving the shower, and there is no steam collecting on the walls, you could have a leak inside the wall. If the pipes are jolted loose or not tight enough, water can stream out each time they are used.
