Preventing Water Losses in the Bathroom

2/7/2018 (Permalink)

Water loss occurs often in bathrooms. Here are some loss prevention and maintenance tips to help you avoid experiencing water damage. 

Sinks

  • Inspect plumbing beneath sinks every 6 months.
  • Looks for kinks in pipes. These can lead to leaks over time.
  • Locate water shut-off valve and inspect every 6 months to make sure it is working.

Toilets

  • Inspect the supply line every 6 months.
  • Ensure the connection to the valve is secure.
  • Operate the valve to make sure the water supply will shut off. 
  • Inspect the flushing mechanism inside the toilet. Replace assembly if you notice intermittent or constant tank refilling.

Shower Stalls

  • Inspect tile and grout, paying attention to loose or cracked tiles. Replace as needed.
  • Test shower pan to ensure it is holding water and not leaking out.
