A baths is more susceptible to water damage than any other room in your home. Faucet and drain leaks, seeping toilet gaskets, and cracks where walls meet tubs or shower pans are all causes of water damage. Leaky showers are another. You can stop potential water damage by frequently inspecting all these areas -- especially showers and tubs. If you find a spot that looks suspect, remove old grout with a screwdriver or grout saw. Vacuum thoroughly, and use a siliconized caulking compound to make a waterproof connection. Caulking can be found in a wide range of standard and exotic colors. If you have ceramic tile, just look around; you'll likely find a perfect match. Prevent water damage by checking bathroom seams and joints -- immediately! And that's the On The House tip for today.
