Why test the shower and check the toilet seal?
During an inspection, the inspector is not only looking for live evidence of wood-destroying organisms, but also evidence of conditions conducive to infestation or infection. A leaky shower or toilet creates a moisture problem in surrounding wood members creating a suitable environment for wood-destroying organisms. The inspector checks these areas to ensure that they are water-tight. *Please note that if it is necessary to remove the shower door to make the repairs we are required by state law to replace the shower door with safety glass if it does not already exist in the shower. The replacement of the glass would be an added cost.
