Signs Your Shower
Is Leaking
Catching a shower leak early can save you thousands in water damage. If you notice any of these, it is worth getting the shower checked before a small leak becomes a major repair.
Common warning signs:
- Bubbling, peeling or blistered paint on nearby walls or ceilings
- Lifting, drummy, hollow-sounding or cracked tiles
- Mould and mildew that keeps returning no matter how often you clean
- A persistent damp or musty smell around the bathroom
- Watermarks or stains on the ceiling below the shower
- Swollen skirting boards, warped flooring or a jamming door
- Cracked, missing or discoloured grout in the shower recess
- Deteriorated or mouldy silicone around the screen and fittings
- Damp or stained carpet in rooms next to the bathroom
