Did you know that waterproofing of wet areas is one of the most common building defects?
Mouldy Silicone
Silicon products used to “plug” gaps, seal joints and repair cracks are usually only a temporary fix. Deteriorating or mouldy silicone is usually one of the first signs that your bath is leaking.
Smell
If you can smell mildew then this is usually due to dampness caused by a leak and is rotting timber and wall materials.
Warped Walls
A leaking bath can cause the wall material to swell and contract causing walls to warp.
Stained Walls
Water damage will create visible stains on walls.
Bubbling Paint
Moisture commonly causes paint to bubble as the water prevents the paint from adhering to the wall.
Tile Grout
Tile grout may become crumbly and disintegrate due to constant moisture. Due to this tiles may even start coming off the walls.
Skirting Boards
Swollen skirting boards are a typical sign that water is penetrating behind the wall. You may also notice skirting board paint peeling or discolouring.
Sticking Doors
Water causes timber to swell and contract. You may notice doors become stuck and are harder to open and close. Although the bath may be located a few metres from the door, water can travel great distances within wall cavities and under floors.
