Leaking shower repair on Sydney’s North Shore.
The owner of this home in Turramurra noticed water was leaking from the upstairs bathroom into the rumpus area after someone had a shower.
Upon inspection, our waterproofer found, when the bathroom was renovated only a few years ago, the shower waterproofing wasn’t adequate. Why didn’t the shower start leaking immediately? With wear and tear (i.e. shower usage), the inadequate waterproofing started to break down and water made its way through the waterproofing membrane and floor, eventually weeping through to the downstairs rumpus area. Upon removing the surrounding tiles our waterproofer found that the wall had also suffered water damage and needed to be replaced.
After waterproofing the shower area correctly, it was retiled and ready for use within 24 hours. The shower looked as good as new and, as the photos below attest, there was no discrepancy between the old and new tiling. Even the feature tiles were reinstated.
