Helpful Tips for You

Maximize the benefits of your newly waterproofed shower and keep it in excellent condition with these practical tips:

1. Prepare Your Shower Area Before Waterproofing

   • Remove any personal items and clean the area thoroughly. A clean surface ensures better adhesion of waterproofing materials.

2. Inspect Grout and Caulk Regularly

   • Check for cracks or wear and reseal as needed. Small repairs can prevent major water damage.

3. Use Proper Ventilation

   • Install a bathroom exhaust fan to reduce humidity and prevent mold growth. If you already have one, ensure it’s functioning efficiently.

4. Avoid Abrasive Cleaners

   • Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaning solutions to maintain the integrity of waterproof coatings and tile finishes.

5. Act Quickly on Leaks

   • If you notice any water pooling or damp spots, address the issue immediately to prevent further damage.

6. Schedule Professional Inspections

   • A periodic check by experts ensures that your waterproofing is intact and your bathroom is in peak condition.

• Avoid Standing Water

  • Use a squeegee after each shower to remove water from tiles and glass, reducing moisture buildup.

• Check for Mold and Mildew

  • Look out for signs of mold, especially in corners and along edges. Treat affected areas promptly with mold-killing solutions.
