Water Damaged Shower Stall - Salem, Oregon

Can you experience water damage in your shower stall?

The answer is yes and here's why. Shower stalls are constructed out of various building materials from pre-fabricated inserts or cement backer-board with tile and grout installed over it. Those components form the barrier from the inside of the shower stall into the wall cavity.

In some instances, these components fail allowing water to infiltrate into the wall cavity and usually go unnoticed for some time. 

When the damage is noticed it's usually beyond a basic maintenance service and requires a complete demolition and rebuild of the shower stall.

This Salem - Keizer, Oregon home experienced a water damage that required complete demolition, cleaning and sanitation of framing followed by installation of new material.

Regular maintenance and checking of grout in tiled shower stalls will help reduce the possibility of water infiltration into the wall cavity.
