A majority of complaints from
homeowners are that they are experiencing water damage to
their home due to a leaking shower.
Buildings, whether they are brick or timber
(stud wall), have normal building movement and vibrations
caused by everyday living, such as doors opening and closing.
As grout is not flexible, it won't
stand even the most minimal of movement. As a result, the
grouting in the main movement areas crack, break away and
leave gaps. Grout is also porous and so water seeps through
to deteriorate and weaken the grout. With both of these elements
at work, water is left to leak and hence cause damage.
Damage As A Result
The damage occurred can
be damp walls and carpets, skirtings that have swelled and
unsightly stains. As well as having the smell and rot associated
with dampness, it's a very big attraction to white ants that
find it a perfect breeding ground.
If the shower is left to leak over a period
of time it consequently causes extensive damage to structural
timber, floorboards, walls, carpets and wiring, which could
add up to thousands of dollars in repairs.
Temporary Solutions
There are many products on the market that may temporarily
stop your shower from leaking depending on its quality and
condition of the shower. Few of them are resistant to mould,
cleaners and scouring brushes so please be aware that they
are only a short-term solution and generally end up exacerbating
the problem.
