We are trusted leaders in water damage restoration in Broward County.

Do you know when you last inspected your shower pan? A study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) reported that homes more than twenty years old were 37 percent more likely to have water damage involving a shower, and more than half of these claims involved a damaged shower stall.

SERVPRO® of Pembroke Pines/West Miramar has a team of water restoration technicians on-call 24-hours a day. We have been responding to water damage emergencies for years in Pembroke Pines. Some shower pan water damage could have been prevented by annual inspection and maintenance to identify any small, potentially damaging issues before they became a bigger problem and a bigger repair. Here are some tips from the IBHS for maintaining your shower pan:

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
