www.megasealed.com.au
Is your water
bill looking a little more expensive than usual? Is your bathroom floor
mysteriously damp? Is there mould forming in those hard to reach places? Does
something smell a little musty at home? If you answered yes to any of these,
chances are you have a leaking shower.
A leaking shower base can ruin the integrity of your home’s foundations. Not to mention it causes a
build up of mould, chipped paint, decaying grout and can make your bathroom
look like a total mess. Too often we go about de-moulding, re-paining and
re-grouting without actually remedying the problem at the source - The leak!
So, to save you money and time we have compiled this list of how to fix your
once beautiful bathroom, starting at the source.
There are many
possible reasons your shower might be leaking, including:
✔
A blockage
in the plumbing system i.e. pipes
✔
A broken waterproofing membrane
✔
The use of poor quality products during the construction process
✔
A problem
with the shower head
Repairing a leaking shower often ends up being quite expensive depending on who you get to
do the job. With Megasealed’s range of services including our Standard Service
or our Tile Over Tile Service you can not only pick the perfect shower waterproofing solution, but also one that is cost effective. But keep in mind this
all depends on how early you identify the problem.
We can not
stress enough that leak are time sensitive. The longer it takes you to identify
the problem, the more money it will cost to fix. So stay on top of your
bathroom maintenance by checking for these signs:
✔
A
dripping sound - Simple, but effective
✔
Dampness in
and around the shower
✔
Accumulation
of mould on the floor,
walls and ceiling
✔
Cracks
appearing in the paint
✔
Cracks in the grout
✔
Loose tiles
