Think You Might Have a Pesky Shower Leak?

Have you noticed:

  • Unexplained high water bills
  • Damp or wet patches near your shower or bathroom walls
  • Mould or mildew growth around tiles or grout
  • Peeling paint or bubbling plaster
  • Musty smells coming from the bathroom
  • Loose or cracked tiles
  • Water stains on ceilings below bathrooms
  • A constantly running water meter

If you said yes to any of the above, you may need professional shower leak detection services. At G.X.R Plumbing & Gas, we specialise in locating hidden shower leaks quickly across the entire Perth metro area.

Using advanced acoustic leak detection technology and non-invasive testing methods, our licensed plumbers can pinpoint the source of your shower leak without unnecessary damage to tiles, walls or flooring.

While some leaks are obvious such as visible cracks or dripping taps, many leaking showers are silent and hidden. Over time, these leaks can cause serious structural damage, including timber rot, mould growth and ceiling damage.

Early shower leak detection can save you thousands in long-term repair costs.

Our Perth shower leak detection specialists can identify and repair:

  • Leaking shower bases
  • Failed waterproofing membranes
  • Cracked grout and tile leaks
  • Shower screen and seal leaks
  • Pipe leaks behind shower walls
  • Ceiling damage caused by bathroom leaks
  • Shower re-sealing and pipe repairs

Our fully licensed Waterwise plumbers provide honest, fast, reliable and affordable shower leak detection services throughout Perth.

We Use Advanced Ultrasonic Technology for Accurate Shower Leak Detection

We’ve been servicing Perth for over 20 years, specialising in professional shower leak detection. While some leaking showers are easy to spot, many are hidden behind tiles, under shower bases, or inside walls and require specialised equipment to locate leaks.

Our licensed plumbers use advanced ultrasonic shower leak detection technology to pinpoint even the smallest hidden leaks, including failed waterproofing, cracked grout, and pipe leaks behind walls. Using 40 kHz acoustic sound waves, we can detect water movement beyond normal hearing range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a leaking shower?

Common signs include damp walls or flooring near the shower, mould growth around tiles or grout, loose tiles, musty smells, water stains on ceilings below, and unexplained increases in your water bill. Many shower leaks are hidden behind tiles or inside walls, so professional shower leak detection may be required to confirm the source.

How is shower leak detection carried out?

Professional shower leak detection uses non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening devices, moisture meters, and pressure testing to locate hidden leaks. This allows plumbers to pinpoint the exact source without unnecessary damage to tiles or walls.

Can a leaking shower cause structural damage?

Yes. A leaking shower can damage waterproof membranes, rot timber framing, cause mould growth, and weaken ceilings or flooring below. Early shower leak detection helps prevent expensive structural repairs.

Do you need to remove tiles to detect a shower leak?

In most cases, no. Modern shower leak detection equipment allows plumbers to locate leaks without removing tiles. If repairs are required, only the affected area may need to be opened.

Can you repair the leak after detecting it?

Yes. After completing shower leak detection, our licensed plumber can recommend and carry out the necessary repairs, whether that involves resealing, waterproofing repairs, pipe repairs, or replacing damaged components.
