Water outside a shower can come from a fixture, a connection or the wet-area construction. The location and timing of the moisture help decide which part should be investigated first.
Distinguishing a plumbing leak from other moisture
The assessment considers the taps or mixer, accessible pipework and the waste connection. Further testing depends on what the symptoms suggest. A waterproofing or building defect may require another specialist, so resealing or plumbing work should not be assumed to solve every shower leak.
Where this service can help
- Dripping shower taps and mixers
- Suspected supply or waste connection leaks
- Moisture appearing during or after shower use
A fault that comes and goes
Intermittent symptoms may not be present during a visit. Photographs of a visible leak or a note of the conditions when it appears can help explain the problem without repeatedly operating a faulty fixture.
Preparing for attendance
Note whether dampness appears while the shower runs or remains after it has not been used. Tell us about previous tile repairs, resealing or changes to the shower fittings.
