Seems like a silly question, doesn\u2019t it? Factor this in: the bathroom is statistically the most dangerous room in your house. Why? Water, plus slippery surfaces, equal a higher change of slip and fall accidents.<\/p>\n

Most household accidents happen in the bathroom for that very reason. A common culprit is a tub that\u2019s lost its seal, or missed water spills that leak into the walls, causing anything from warped floors to mold.<\/p>\n

If you have water damage in your bathroom, you may be wondering what to do. Let us break down the signs of a hazardous bathroom, and what you can do to keep you and the people living under your roof safe.<\/p>\n

Mold and Mildew<\/h4>\n

Water is a common problem in houses for many reasons. Neglected spills or constant water damage add up over time. This can lead to mold or mildew growing in corners in hard-to-see places \u2013 or in places that are completely out of your sight, like behind walls.<\/p>\n

Tub leaks and leaky faucets<\/h4>\n

In the bathroom, a big cause of water damage is old, leaky faucets, leaky drains, or old tub seals that needed replacing a while ago.<\/p>\n

Determining where the leaks are coming from can take some troubleshooting. Typically, all you need to do to find the culprit is turn on each faucet and see if it\u2019s leaking. Then, the hard part comes in: repairing the leak. Some problems can be a simple DIY fix if you know what you\u2019re doing. Others may need an experienced plumber.<\/p>\n

Time to renovate?<\/h4>\n

If your bathroom is old, or if your bathroom\u2019s repairs are adding up faster than you can update your to-do list, then it could be time to remodel your bathroom<\/a> or replace your tub or shower. From mold and mildew resistant bathtubs to showers that take less time and hassle to keep clean, we have a ton of options to fit your individual needs.<\/p>\n
