If your home has been showing signs of water damage, its bad news for you. It not only means there is water wastage in your home but at the same time, indicates your home is about to face something even worse. Water leakage can cause serious damage. Apart from structural damage, water leakage can become a chief reason for growth of moulds and mildew, which are a severe threat to human health.
Water Damage Due to Shower Leakage
Water leakage mainly occurs due to plumbing problems. A leaky shower is most of the times the reason behind such kind of damage. However, its not always possible to find out leaks unless you suddenly bump into something unnatural. Commonly, leakages happen around the shower, and its because of unsealed plumbing causing water to seep through cracks and lines.
According to shower leak detection experts in Brisbane faulty or inadequate shower curtains can sometimes be blamed for water seepage into the subfloors which can bring upon massive damage. When the subfloor gets too wet, it can begin to rot and hence conducting a check becomes necessary. Some signs that become evident are as follows:
· The vinyl floor begins to curl up
· Ceramic tiles loosen up and come off
· Water stains across the ceilings
· Floor joists below a bathroom showcase stains
· Patches of mold become evident around the bathtub, or across the walls of the bathroom
· Water will not drain easily and the shower will often showcase some amount of water accumulation
If you have recently come across any of these signs, get the shower checked for a potential leakage.
