TERRAZZO
SHOWER FLOOR: Terrazzo is small pieces of
granite and/or marble imbedded into cement, then
polished and smoothed. The characteristics are
similar to those of ceramic tile. Be aware that
the inspector cannot ascertain whether the
shower pan leaks unless the leak is evident.
Flood testing of the pan is not performed by the
building inspection company. Under most
circumstances flood testing is performed by the
pest inspector (if a pest inspection is called
for). Generally, no inspector will flood test
shower pans which are installed over finished
rooms below. Any leaks resulting from the flood
test would damage walls and ceilings of the
rooms below. Please contact the inspection
company should you need further information
regarding this limitation.
