What Causes Bathroom Floods in Columbus
Overflowing Sink or Bathtub
A tub or sink left running overflows onto the floor and into nearby rooms.
Faulty Shower Pan or Drain
A cracked shower pan or leaking drain lets water into the subfloor every time the shower runs.
Failed Shower or Tub Sealant
Old or cracked caulk around tubs and showers lets water seep into the wall and floor.
Condensation and Poor Ventilation
Steam from showers condenses on walls and ceilings when the fan is missing or not vented outside.
