Your local bathroom and wet area leak detection experts

A leaking shower usually announces itself somewhere other than the bathroom, as damp skirting boards, lifting floors or mould on the far side of a wall. The question worth answering first is whether the problem is a pipe, a failed seal or waterproofing that has broken down, because those are three very different repairs.

We detect leaks in pipes, seals or waterproofing

A wet bathroom wall has three likely causes and telling them apart decides everything about the cost. A pipe leak runs whether or not the shower is being used, so isolation and meter testing rules it in or out quickly. A failed seal at the screen, the hob or the waste only leaks while water is running on it, which shows up under controlled flood testing of the shower base with the water supply isolated. Failed waterproofing sits underneath and is the expensive one, because water passing through a broken membrane soaks the bed and the substrate and travels into adjoining rooms. Moisture meters and thermal imaging map how far it has spread and how wet the structure is behind the tiles, which is what determines whether the fix is a regrout and reseal or a full rebuild.

Who this service is for

Owners, landlords and strata managers dealing with damage next to a bathroom, and anyone quoted for a bathroom rebuild who wants to know whether the waterproofing has actually failed first. It also covers apartments where the damage is appearing in the unit below.

Commonly asked questions

Timing is the giveaway. A pipe under pressure leaks constantly, so the area stays damp even if the shower has not been used for days and the meter will usually show movement with everything isolated. Waterproofing and seal failures only leak while water is running on them, so the damp follows use. Testing confirms which pattern applies rather than relying on the impression.

Not to diagnose it. Flood testing, moisture meters and thermal imaging establish whether water is passing through and how far it has spread with the tiles still in place. What gets opened up follows from the result, and knowing the extent beforehand is what stops a reseal job turning into a stripped bathroom halfway through.

That depends on the strata plan and where the failure sits, since common property and lot property are treated differently and the line often falls at the membrane. Establishing what failed and where is the part that settles it, which is why a written report matters more in a strata leak than almost anywhere else.
