Common Problems with Roll-In Showers
While roll-in showers are designed to provide accessibility and convenience, they can experience some common problems over time, including:
- Leaking: Roll-in showers may develop leaks around the drain or seams, leading to water damage and mold growth if left untreated.
- Slippery Surfaces: Without proper non-slip flooring or grab bars, roll-in showers can pose a slip and fall hazard, especially for individuals with limited mobility.
- Inadequate Drainage: Poor drainage can result in standing water in the shower, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and mildew.
- Door and Threshold Issues: Roll-in shower doors or thresholds may become damaged or difficult to operate, hindering accessibility and safety.
- Water Temperature Control: Thermostat issues or malfunctioning controls can result in inconsistent water temperature, posing discomfort and safety concerns.
Reasons to Replace Wheelchair Accessible Roll-In Showers
