Where many American homeowners are going for
glass shower doors, there are a few who are absolutely terrified by the idea of
having a glass door in the shower. Since 2013, there had been more than 2,000
homeowners making trips to the emergency room because of the unexpected
injuries caused when their glass doors shattered. Hard to believe? Every bit of
it is valid. Out of all the crimes and killings, who knew that exploding glass
doors will be the reasons why most of the innocent citizens will be brought to
emergency theaters? The year 2017 was a year of horror that way. Companies who
replace residential door glass in Washington DC have been busy providing
replacements to several homeowners during the year.
A magazine called Inside Edition dug into
the matter and made a few findings. The incidents were all real, the families
were scared because of those incidents, and the shattering episodes were all
spontaneous. The companies for residential glass door repair in Washington DC
were called at least three to four hours late in almost every case. Every
repairer stated the same: the hardware of the door was still in the right
place.
"It sounded like a bomb went off,"
a single mother, Amy, told the inspection team. “One second the shower was
intact, and the other second the door was on the floor—in thousand pieces”. By
the time I could call someone for residential door glass replacement in
Washington DC, it was too late.
Another Virginia homeowner told the team
that the glass door of her bathroom spontaneously exploded when her 12-year-old
son was inside bathing. “It blew up,” Oliver the 12 years old boy
told. The cuts on his arms and legs were visible. The team of the inside
edition published several stories featuring various families who have been
through the same. They published detailed reports on how many cases were
brought to the consumer courts and how the cases were concluded. In most of the
cases, the occurrences were real, and homeowners won the suit filed against the
door manufacturers.
With the history explained—Following Are Some Tips on How To Deal With The Broken Shower Door
Save Yourself From The Damage
1. If by any way the same happens to you, keep your senses
intact. The sound may be deafening, and it is natural to lose control of
yourself, but, the best thing to do even when you're terrified is to stay in
your right head. Only with the right mind, you can decide what to do next.
2. Carefully step out the shower stepping onto the areas
where the shards are not present. If you don’t find the safe place to land on,
grab anything in the reach and score the broken glass away. A homeowner whose
door exploded wrapped the towel on the elongated shampoo bottle and made a
little mop to score the shards away. The cloth is always good to remove the
glass anyway.
3. Once you are out of the shower, call a reliable company
for residential window glass repair in Washington DC. The professionals know
how to clean the broken glass correctly. Gathering all of the small pieces by
you is difficult.
4. Once the pieces are recovered, dispose of the glass in the
separate glass-recycling facility. Keep in mind that you cannot dispose of the
shards of the regular garbage. The edges can pierce any soft surface, be it the
skin of any worker or garbage disposal bag.
5. Always clean the problematic corners and underlying areas
in your bathroom to get rid of hidden glass pieces. Reach under the cabinets or
vanity with a mop. Once the glass is gathered, grab a torch and lean your face
against the floor to see if there is any piece still there.
