Fix a Leak – Leak Repairs NZ Wide!

There’s a couple of quick tests you can do to determine where a bathroom shower and bath leak is coming from.

We all know that bathroom leaks can be an absolute pain, because they are normally concealed behind wall tiles, below the shower pan or under the bath tubs.

The upside to bathroom leaks, is that in many cases your insurance will cover costs to fix and repair a bathroom plumbing leak (check the fine print).

So what are you seeing or hearing in your bathroom?

Is the skirting board at the bottom of your walls behind the shower swelling? Can you hear the dreaded “drip drip” behind the wall? Shower grout changing colour… or has your foot gone through the saturated partical board floor?

Two quick tests:

Do you suspect it’s the shower that’s leaking? Simply plug the drain hole and flood the shower pan with water. If the water receeds, then you know it’s escaping through the grout (in tiled showers). Let the water receed completely, because it might stop half way which could mean it’s leaking out the skirting tile grout. 

If the shower pan stays full, you then need to eliminate if it’s leaking around the waste drain. Once you are satisfied it’s not the grout, let the water drain out… and if the leak appears, you know the drain isn’t sealed. Bingo!

Still no leak from the grout or drain? Then there’s only really one option left… the shower faucets or plumbing connections behind the wall are leaking.
