To prevent mold and mildew growth in your shower after a repair, make sure to properly ventilate the area by using an exhaust fan or opening a window. Wipe down the shower walls and surfaces regularly to remove excess moisture. Consider using a squeegee to remove water after each use. Additionally, using a mold-resistant caulk and grout can help prevent mold growth in the long term.

As a licensed plumber, I recommend assessing the severity of the leak by checking the size, location, and potential cause of the leak. Minor leaks that are small, easily accessible, and caused by loose fittings or worn washers can often be fixed by homeowners. However, if the leak is large, hidden behind walls or floors, or caused by a more serious issue such as a burst pipe or corroded plumbing, it is best to seek professional repair services to prevent further damage and ensure proper repairs.
