Here are the key causes of bathroom leaks that you should be aware of.
Waterproofing Problems
Waterproofing issues can lead to bathroom leaks, such as water seeping under floor tiles. If the seals around your shower base or plumbing fixtures aren’t tight, water will escape to the lowest point. Ensuring your plumbing is installed by a skilled plumber is crucial to prevent these leaks.
Pressure-Related Issues
Bathroom leaks can also occur with low water pressure. If you hear running water within walls or notice reduced pressure, it might signal a burst or leaking pipe hidden inside the walls or underground.
Have a professional inspect your water pressure to ensure it’s consistent and leak-free. If you’re experiencing pressure issues, underground leak detection may be necessary, often requiring specialized equipment to pinpoint the problem.
Leaking Toilets
Rising water consumption in Malta is often exacerbated by running or dripping toilets, leading to unnecessary water waste.
Leaking toilets can contribute to bathroom leaks and may not always be visible. Types like close-coupled, back-to-wall, and in-wall suites often have concealed plumbing, making them hard to inspect without removing the units or using specialized equipment. We use borescope cameras, thermal imaging, and our extensive experience to detect and address these hidden leaks effectively.
Identify and Resolve Your Bathroom Leak Problems
Understanding these issues will guide you in addressing bathroom leaks in your home. The next step is to seek assistance from a plumbing professional who can help you with repairs and resolve the problem effectively.
