Moisture in your bathroom is an everyday occurrence, but controlling
it around your shower, bath tub, and sink is mandatory.
by Denton Lesslie
The shower is the major source of water
in your bathroom. The shower head is the normal first line of thought.
You should also consider the steam from taking a shower should also be
considered. The steam causes the dampness to linger long after you are
out of your bath.
The first thing that you can do is
install a fan to exhaust some of the steam out. Usually directly over
the shower stall is best, but some bathroom architecture does not allow
for that. Close to the stall will work almost as well. A good check is
watch the steam as someone is taking a shower to see the best place to
place the fan.
Another precaution to take is if there
are any cracks in the showers surround. There usually nothing wrong with
the structure. Just the structure contracting and expanding with the
season. Just fill them in with some caulk. Paint the surround with some
waterproof paint or sealant.
Check for similar cracks around your
sink and toilet. Make sure that you check the subflooring around the
drain. If you can get under the subfloor and look at the underside of
the subflooring to see if there is any evidence of water drainage. This
is a common problem around the toilet when the wax ring fails.
The biggest thing to pay attention to
is if there is any water of any kind is getting to any wood. Check if
there is any wood rot from prolonged exposure and fix it. After that
stop any water getting to bare, unprotected wood.
