There are a few reasons that your shower leaks, including poor tiling design, structural movement, the breakdown of silicone joints or shower seals, or even a lack of plumbing maintenance, but the biggest culprit that we have come across in our many years of repairing showers is the erosion of the grout between your tiles. When tile regrouting has not been carried out routinely as part of your Forrestdale home’s maintenance, it is inevitable that the grout between the tiles in your shower recess will be broken down by the water from your shower. Just how long that will take depends on a few of factors such as the skill and attention to detail of the tradesmen who carried out the grouting work originally, how much use your shower gets, and how well your grouting has been previously maintained over time.
Shower Solutions’ team have many years of experience in the repair of leaking showers and are experts in solving leaky shower problems. We don’t guess at what the problem might be, but rather use equipment such as the latest, state of the art thermal imaging cameras to inspect your shower area and opposing walls. The use of a thermal imaging camera is very important in identifying the cause of the water ingress because those leaks are often hidden from the naked eye and will only be evident using our sophisticated equipment.
