If your shower has a tiled pan, you've probably struggled with persistent mold in the pan and along the shower curb. Mold growth requires a consistently high moisture level. Despite using mold-killing products like Clorox or Tilex, the mold keeps reappearing, which can be incredibly frustrating. However, there is a solution to your problem. Let's explore the reason behind the recurring mold issue.

Based on our experience in cleaning and restoring showers, the most common reason for persistent mold is related to shower drain weep holes. Though not visible to the naked eye, there's often a puddle of water trapped beneath the tile with nowhere to go. To clarify – if your shower has a tiled floor, it also has a weep-style drain. Any water that seeps below the tile should flow towards the drain if the weep system is functioning correctly. This is where complications arise. We've discovered that about 90% of weep drains are clogged due to builders applying hot tar during the shower installation. This implies that your shower may have never drained properly.

Furthermore, clogged weep drains can be caused by bar soap residue and hard water buildup, resulting in mineral blockages. To identify other indicators of a clogged weep drain, inspect your shower floor. Look for cracks in the tiles or grout lines, white minerals or calcium seeping up through the tile or grout, and wall damage outside the shower curb. All of these signs point to a weep drain issue.

We believe in addressing the root cause of the problem rather than applying temporary fixes to your mold issue using harsh cleaners. Our approach involves providing a shower drain and weep hole cleaning service that clears your drain, enabling it to function as intended. By ensuring your shower drains efficiently as designed, we are confident that your shower mold problem will be significantly alleviated.

Bleach is a highly effective disinfectant and works well for treating specific problem areas in your shower. However, as a potent oxidizer, it can damage your grout over time. We've observed that consistent bleach usage in showers often leads to the need for shower regrouting after a relatively short period. To extend the lifespan of your grout and grout sealants, we recommend avoiding excessive use of bleach.
