This Is Why Your Shower Is Leaking! | Leaky Showers Nerang

Got a leaking shower and wondering why? Then read on…because, at Leaky Showers Nerang, we’re about to unpack this topic in detail!
Leaking showers can really affect your home because grout isn’t actually waterproof, and even waterproof membranes aren’t impervious to deterioration. A leaking shower can also mean your plasterboard, timber and paintwork are also vulnerable to water damage. Tiny cracks in a shower floor can let water through, and you could end up finding water (and water damage) far beyond your bathroom – especially if your bathroom or ensuite is on the second floor. Foundations and your timber frame can also be damaged which can, in turn, lead to costly repairs.

Some of the causes of leaking showers can be:
1. Broken Tiles Or Grout
When tiles are broken or have been improperly installed, they are exposed to water. Water can break down the tile adhesive, causing tiles to come loose or even fall off altogether. There may also be gaps in the grout sealing, allowing water to reach the waterproof membrane that’s beneath the tiles.

2. Deteriorating Waterproofing
Sometimes in leaking showers, the waterproofing membrane has deteriorated naturally over time (maybe even unnaturally due to more water reaching it than there should be) or has been installed improperly. When this happens minor leaks in the bathroom can turn into water that can flow freely into your home’s structure.

A Guide to Expert Waterproofing

Waterproofing balconies and bathrooms are essential to keeping any home safe from water damage – but it’s also necessary to work with experts like Leaky Showers to get the job done right! This article will review the basics of waterproofing, why it is important, and where to find the best waterproofing repairs in South Brisbane.

The Basics of Waterproofing
Waterproofing repairs on leaking showers and balconies prevent moisture from passing through them causing structural damage to the internal frame of your home. In simple terms, a waterproof membrane is applied in a thick layer that keeps all moisture from leaching into areas of your home that are vulnerable to water.
For example, it could be dangerous if your shower leaks into the floors causing the wood to rot or deteriorate. This is extremely dangerous (and expensive!) if your shower is on the second story of your home. However, there will inevitably be water in your shower, so you must apply waterproofing materials to keep it contained. In industry terms, this process is a part of shower resealing.
According to the Australian building code, waterproofing is required anywhere in your home that has a water outlet. This includes your shower, laundry room, bathrooms, and other areas.
Your shower floors and walls must be waterproofed, in addition to your bathroom walls. Interestingly, if your shower is on the second story, you are required to waterproof the entire room – especially if the flooring is made out of wood!

Why Is Waterproofing Important?
So, why is working with an expert in waterproofing essential?
Well, as you might be aware, water is a very corrosive substance and can do a lot of damage to your home. If water seeps through your floors or walls and goes undetected, it can cause numerous problems. Wet or rotting wood will also attract termites that can cause extensive damage as they eat their way through the timber frame of your home.

Leaking Balcony Repairs – Brisbane

  • Under : Common Signs, Leaking Shower, Shower Repairs, Waterproofing

If you notice that water is leaking from your balcony, then it’s time to call in the experts at Leaky Showers. Balcony waterproofing is an essential aspect of keeping your home safe and in good condition. If you have a leaking balcony, then keep reading to learn why you shouldn’t delay in getting it repaired!

Don’t Wait to Repair Your Leaking Balcony
Your balcony is one of the most unique aspects of your home, especially if you live in an apartment. It’s a great outdoor space designed to entertain guests on or relax and enjoy the view from. However, this space can become problematic if there are water leaks that result in damage to your property.

Think about this – your balcony really is exposed to every weather condition imaginable. For example, sudden drops or increases in temperature, light rain or even hail. These sudden shifts in temperature can result in the materials on your balcony deteriorating leading to water leaking into the structure of your balcony and in the worst-case scenario, your home. Cracked grout, degraded tiles and eroded waterproof membrane can all be factors that can lead to balcony leaks not to mention costly repair bills.

Regardless of what’s causing the leak, it needs to be repaired sooner rather than later if you’re to prevent the water damage from entering the internal structure of your apartment or home. If you find water pooling on your balcony or water damage to your internal walls or ceiling, then you need to invest in repairing your leaking balcony ASAP!

Avoid Further Water Damage
One of the best ways to avoid water damage in the future is to invest in balcony waterproofing. Waterproofing your balcony needs to be done by a professional waterproofer and it needs to adhere to Australian standards. Using the wrong type of waterproof product or incorrectly applying it may result in your balcony leaking again. This can lead to another costly fix and the potential for the water to cause more damage in and around your home. If you want to avoid further water damage in the future it’s important to make sure your repairer is skilled in the art of waterproofing before you hire them to complete your repairs.

Avoid Health Concerns
An area that’s continuously wet can lead to the growth of fungus and mould which can lead to some real health concerns. Allergies and respiratory issues can both result from the inhalation of certain types of fungus and mould. People who are sensitive to the tiny air born spores from fungus and mould may display symptoms like a runny nose, cough or red and itchy eyes. Whilst these symptoms may not be life-threatening they really are unpleasant to have to live with on a daily basis. If you want to avoid health concerns in your home or apartment, have you leaking balcony serviced by a professional repairer as soon as you notice any water leaks.

Avoid Further Water Damage
Perhaps the most obvious way to know that it’s time to repair your shower is if you find water leaks in your bathroom. Water is one of the most damaging substances your home may encounter and a leaking shower can cause extensive water damage not just in your bathroom but also throughout your home leaving you with a hefty repair bill.

If you’ve noticed pooling water or water spots around your shower then it may be time to get your shower repaired.

To prevent any further water damage, contact the Brisbane shower experts and we’ll quickly repair your shower leak to prevent the issue from getting worse!

Protect Your Biggest Asset
Your home is your biggest asset, and you should, therefore, be trying to protect it as much as you can so it maintains resale value. Water leaks in your bathroom are a pain, but more importantly, they can damage the home that you’ve worked so hard to acquire. A leaking shower may seem like a small thing but it really can lead to catastrophic results. For example, water leaking from your shower can damage plaster, flooring, and even the timber joists in your floors and walls. Water can even leach into the framework of your bathroom door causing the timber to bow and the door to no longer close properly.

However, if you invest in the experts in Brisbane shower repairs early on, you can safeguard your largest asset and prevent the leaking shower from reducing the value of your home.

If your shower is leaking, it may be time to call in the Brisbane shower experts. This guide will give you some insights into the common causes of water leaks in the bathroom – and when it is time to seek professional help.

Your Tiles Are Not Waterproof
When the tiles in your shower are not sealed properly, they will not be waterproof. Lack of sealant will cause the water that sits at the base of your shower to seep through your flooring. This water flow can cause an incredible amount of water damage throughout the rest of your bathroom.

Well, this may not be a terrible problem if your shower is on the 1st floor, but a second-story bathroom with a leaking shower could result in water coming through your ceilings, mould build up or the need to repair extensive areas of your walls.

Don’t wait to get this problem resolved before it gets worse – contact leaking shower experts who can reseal your tiles and prevent any further damage.
