THE GROUT GUY What Happens If You Don’t Fix Your Leaking Shower

When most people hear ‘shower leak’, they picture a room filled with a few centimetres of water. But this isn’t the only type of leak you will encounter – any moisture build up in your shower can be a sign of a leak. Shower leaks can occur for a variety of reasons and when they do, it is important to get them fixed quickly. 

How Do Shower Leaks Occur?

It’s important to understand how leaks happen, so you can identify the problem as soon as possible. A leak can occur from a number of places – including compromised grout, or if there is a crack in your shower tiles. When the shower floor or wall grout becomes old or damaged due to prolonged exposure to moisture and cleaning chemicals, it may develop cracks or lose its adhesive qualities.

Leaving a Shower Leak for Too Long

If you delay getting your shower leak fixed, the problem can worsen and lead to costly repairs. Water leaking through cracked tiles or crumbling grout, can damage the surrounding structures and even compromise the building’s integrity. Also, the longer the leakage persists, the more chances of mould and mildew forming, creating a potentially serious health hazard in your home. 

Not Identifying the Source of the Leak

Finding out where the leak is coming from can be tricky to the untrained eye. However with the help of an experienced professional the source of the leak can be quickly identified and rectified. To avoid the costs of extensive repairs, it is best to call in a professional.
