A simple shower chair sitting in a walk in shower might not catch your eye when touring a home, but it instantly triggers a checklist for our trained team. We look at everyday items like this as clues that tell us exactly where we need to inspect more closely.
First, a walk in shower is a fantastic selling point for the future resale of your potential new home, but typically only if there is also a bathtub located somewhere else in the house. Buyers love options, and having at least one tub is crucial for families with young kids or pets.
Second, those chairs can put an immense amount of localized pressure on the floor. Our team thoroughly evaluates the shower floor to ensure the chair legs have not cracked or caused unnecessary strain on the shower pan.
A damaged shower pan can allow water to slowly leak into the subfloor, leading to hidden wood rot and mold that is incredibly expensive to repair. We catch these subtle issues during a home inspection so you do not inherit a soggy headache.
