Why Is There Mold In My Shower?

If you have a tile shower pan, you have likely battled with the presence of mold in the pan and on the shower curb. Mold occurs in areas with high prolonged moisture levels. This is especially the case where showers are used multiple times a day. Mold-killing products are offfured like Clorox , Tilex, etc. They do help, but the problem tends to come back. That's the bad news. The good news is there are reasons why this happens that can be addressed. Let's take a look at some of the reasons to help with the mold battle.

What Is The Most Common Reason For Mold In The Shower?

Having been involved in extensive cleaning and restoration of showers, one of the causes of the persistent recurrence of mold that stands out is the weep holes in the shower's drain system. A stagnant collection of water remains hidden from view due to the lack of exit pathways for the water, and this is able to be trapped for plenty of time. For example, in a shower cubicle that has been laid with tiles, there is a high chance that there is a weep drain system in place. Ideally, water that is trapped below the tiles will drain to the weep drain system and not remain stagnant. This is the case, however in most instances, and the issues begin here.

It has been discovered that there tends to be blockage in about 90% of weep drains, and this is normally due to hot tar being applied by the builders before the shower is fully constructed. This means that without the possibility of drainage, there is the certainty that your shower has never drained, and it is without a doubt that showers that use bar soap and all of the water has minerals that will lead to blockage in the weep drains.

It is possible for you, while showering, to observe the first signs of your weep drain being clogged. Look for cracks on your shower floor tiles, or on the edges of the tiles, and any damage to the wall that is outside the shower partition. This will indicate that there is, in fact a problem with your weep drain.

How Can We Help With Your Mold Problem?

We don't mask your mold problem with a quick fix such as using aggressive cleaners; instead, we're focused on eliminating the root cause.

This restoration will help your shower drain as it was meant to, and dramatically decrease the mold problems in your shower.

Although bleach is a strong disinfectant and great for particular problems in your shower, it is important to consider that bleach is a strong oxidizing agent and will damage your grout, especially with frequent use. We are noticing that frequent bleach use in your shower is causing grout repair to be needed sooner than typically expected. To help your grout and sealants last, please do not use bleach in your shower so frequently.
