Signs of a water leak in wet area or bathroom
Mould and mildew
Bacteria that cause mould and mildew require continuous water to survive. If you notice any of these signs, there could be a chronic moisture issue in your wet area.
Peeling paint
If the paint is separating from the surface of the wall it is an indication that there is more moisture in the air than is typical for a wet area. This is often the result of a slow leak hidden within the bathroom.
Ceiling stains
Ceilings of rooms underneath a second storey wet area will appear to have a brown or rust-coloured stain if there is a leak in the wet area above.
Carpet staining
Visible stains on carpet in adjacent rooms indicates there is a leak somewhere within the wet area.
Odour
If there is a persistent musty odour that continues despite ventilation it is a strong indication of a leak.
Floor damage
If a floor covering becomes loose or swollen, this is a sign that there could be a shower leak.
Most common causes of bathroom leaks
- Building movement
- Inadequate waterproofing - no or ineffective bond breaker
- Waterproofing membrane was damaged before tiles were installed
- Inadequate falls to bathroom or shower waste (slope to shower or floor drain)
- Shower screens installed incorrectly
