When to Hot Mop a Shower Pan?

  
 Ojeda Shower Pans

  Have you discovered a leaky shower pan? Is it time for an update on that old bathroom? Maybe its time for a room addition. Whatever the case a new shower should be built to last. Hot Mop showers have been the standard in the waterproofing industry for many years.

       When prepping your shower pan for a hot mop you must keep in mind that having it prepped right is an easy task. Demo must be complete and taken down to the original structure, 2x10 blocking placed "in between" the studs will enable the hot mop to roll up the walls. The curb height for hot mopping a shower pan should consist of a minimum height of three 2x4's and sometimes four 2x4's. Hot mop drains are two piece drains that clamp together with a upper and lower flange which act as a gasket.

       With unexpected things in construction we ask that you have your shower pan prepped and ready for your hot mopper before you call to make your appointment.

Hot Mop Drains

 Hot Mop Drains

When it's time to hot mop your shower be aware that there are many different drains use for the hot mopping application. The main idea for a successful hot mop is a 2 piece drain that consist of an top and bottom flange which compresses the hot mop felt paper to act as a "gasket"

When purchasing from Home Depot or Lowes I "do not" reccommend the rubber compression fitting drain, instead I prefer a nice "Glue In" style plastic or cast iron is ok for a hot mop shower pan!
