What Causes A Leaking Shower

Age Of The Shower

In older homes the products and installation methods weren't as advanced as they are today, meaning the products begin to deteriorate over time. The importance of a properly installed quality shower waterproofing membrane was also quite often ignored.

The Quality of products on the market today, in addition to the installation methods and standards are far more advanced meaning that your shower and bathroom will last longer if installed properly by an expert like the team at Dryzabone Waterproofing & Tiling.

Failing Sealant & Grout

The biggest cause of failing Shower sealant and grout is the use of harsh cleaning products. Due to standard cement based grout not being chemical resistant unlike Epoxy Grout, the harsh cleaning products breaks down and weakens the grout causing it to crack and dislodge from the grout joint. This exposes the substrate and waterproofing membrane to extreme moisture levels which can contribute to the shower leaking. Faulty or poor quality workmanship when installing the sealant and grout will also cause the products to fail prematurely risking your Shower Waterproofing.

Failing Shower Waterproofing

Incorrect preparation and poor quality workmanship when installing the Shower Waterproofing membrane is the biggest cause of a Shower leak. While the sealant and Grout failing CAN contribute to the leak, the Waterproofing membrane, IF installed properly, is designed to isolate the moisture to the shower recess area and exit past the leak control flange under the floor drain and into the drain pipe. Incorrect preparation and poor quality installation will cause the waterproofing membrane to fail, making it useless and unable to do the job that it is designed for. That's why it is ALWAYS best to leave the Waterproofing membrane up to the experts at Dryzabone Waterproofing & Tiling
