Standing Water In Shower Floor

It has a tile floor for the shower when i am showering water fills about half the shower never leaves the shower area though.

Standing water in shower floor.

Say you had an expensive shower pan built with the concrete bed membrane weephole drain system. You can leave the floor level in front of the vanity and slope the floor towards the drain in the shower area. The asterisks would be the water that forms the stopper. A shower floor should definitely have a slope to not only contain the water in the shower area but also to properly drain the water preventing mold stains within the grout.

A clogged shower drain could be caused by anything from a small blockage to a major obstruction in your main sewer line. The shower floor tile and grout will appear to dry in 24 hours but if your shower was improperly constructed the 1 5 inches or more of deck mud under the shower floor tile will never dry. I have standing water in my tiled shower. The drain is functioning fine the water is just lower then the drain.

The guy i use for home repairs is out of the country for a couple of months. And it looks absolutely beautiful. Demonstration of water not draining properly in new shower. One would be to redo the floor.

But then you take your first shower and discover that there is this dip in the tiles to the side of the drain that is like a 6 inch circle that has standing water that cannot go down the drain. The side of my house sank a bit causing the floor to be uneven. In your case if you aren t going to use the shower for months on end i suppose you could add a drop of bleach to the drain. When i am done showering there is still standing water in the shower for a few hours about 3 8 an inch.

When these all too common mistakes occur standing water gets trapped in the shower pan below the tile level. In an empty home or in drains that are infrequently used such as a basement you these traps can eventually dry out from evaporation and let sewer gasses seep in.
