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.
