Standing Water In Shower Floor

And it looks absolutely beautiful.

Standing water in shower floor. The guy i use for home repairs is out of the country for a couple of months. The drain is functioning fine the water is just lower then the drain. Can i wait until he comes back to get it fixed or do i need to get it done asap. The asterisks would be the water that forms the stopper.

Say you had an expensive shower pan built with the concrete bed membrane weephole drain system. 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. The side of my house sank a bit causing the floor to be uneven. 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.

When these all too common mistakes occur standing water gets trapped in the shower pan below the tile level. I have standing water in my tiled shower. 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. When i am done showering there is still standing water in the shower for a few hours about 3 8 an inch.

Demonstration of water not draining properly in new shower. Shower water which drains slowly or doesn t drain at all is called standing water and it s a sure sign that your shower drain is clogged. A clogged shower drain could be caused by anything from a small blockage to a major obstruction in your main sewer line. 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.

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