Leaking Shower Repair & Remediation
LEAKING SHOWER REPAIR "Why is my shower leaking ?"
Correctly installed waterproofing systems are of utmost importance in wet areas and element exposed building components alike.
Despite waterproofing failures being the most common building defect, causing the most detrimental damage and incurring the greatest rectification cost. They unfortunately receive an unequivocal lack of care and attention.
There are many intricacies to be considered when designing a water proofing system such as substrate and primer compatibility, movement factors and bond breaker suitability.
Over time, as structural and substrate movement occur, incorrectly installed bond-breakers will tear and a leaking shower pan may develop.
Simultaneously this movement will cause shower grout to crack, mould to develop and shower recess’ to fail as water gets in from behind resulting in the need for leaking shower repair.
At Remworks Waterproofing we specialize in water leak remediation, with a focus on leaking shower repair and leaking bathroom and balcony remediation. We offer a premium service with a wide range of tailored solutions from re-grouting and sealing to clear, trafficable on-tile membranes, shower tray installs and much more.
Our aim is to offer an honest and sustainable solution that adheres to the principles a waterproofing system should follow. As an example, we use a high grade polysiloxane based silicone on the tiled wall/floor junction to mimic the flexibility a bond breaker offers at that same junction in a waterproofing system. Many companies use epoxy grout at this junction which has no degree of flexibility and will crack with movement. As movement is imminent at this junction, the warranty that goes along with these products becomes void.
"can you repair my leaking shower without removing any tiles?"
As a general guideline, your shower leak can be repaired without removing tiles if there is adequate fall to waste and if the screed bed has retained sufficient structural integrity.
You can easily check these yourself by ensuring:
- Water does not pool in one corner or on one side of your shower.
- By applying pressure to the floor tiles, which should remain firm, and checking for drummy tiles by knocking on them.
If you are still unsure, we can arrange for a thorough inspection of your shower leak at no cost. In the majority of cases, we are able to sustainably administer shower leak repair without removing any tiles.
