Things not to Do with a Leaking Shower

1. Things not to Do with a Leaking Shower A leaking shower is a common problem in most households in Sydney and Nelson Bay. They are considered the top-listed problems by building inspectors in Sydney. However, not repairing a leaking shower properly can have its own problems. Most of the leakage problems can be prevented by early detection or availing of industry-standard shower sealer products or services in Sydney and Nelson Bay. Repairing a leakage is no rocket science. It is just about experience and expertise with good workmanship. Like any other construction work, shower sealing should be done by a qualified professional. Showers and washrooms are the most used areas (we are leaving the average usage time for good!) of a house. Being the wettest area, they should be kept in good condition. Over years Megatreat has repaired thousands of leaking showers in Sydney and Nelson Bay. Here we have encountered numerous errors made y either the owner or the shower sealers employed. Here we have compiled all the “Don’ts” to help you understand the importance of shower sealer service or repairing a leaking shower and when to call for help. • Don’t leave a leaking shower for too long By the time you discover a leaking shower, it is possible that the leakage was there for quite some time. A leaking shower is like an aching tooth, worsens with time and doesn’t cure without the right treatment. The more the leaks worsen, the higher the risk of damage. Not just your bathroom, you can expect the damage to extend to the other areas of your house. The sooner you find the leak and take action, the better it is for you. • Misidentification of the exact source of leakage Every now and then whenever we find an owner who has tried to repair the leaking shower all by themselves or through a professional shower sealer service. In most cases, the actual source of leakage was never discovered and fixed. Running a thick bead of silicon is never the right solution. It only makes things worse as the leakage runs behind the tiles or walls. Leaking water always finds a way out. • Not removing shower screen

2. We often see many professionals skipping the crucial step of removing the shower screen before moving with the leaking shower repairs in Sydney or Nelson Bay. We believe there can be two main reasons for that: > To keep the cost and time down while winning the work > Removing and reinstalling the screen requires skills. And if you don’t have enough knowledge about what you are about to do, you might end up risking damaging the screen. Whatever the case might be removing the screen off, the existing grouts is crucial to stop moulds if you are not looking for a short term solution. Unrealistic expectations Sometimes owners call professionals to repair leaking showers that have been at fault for many years with an expectation of making them look like new. Unfortunately, leaving a leaking shower does no good. Prolonged leaks leave no other option but to rebuild the shower recess. This process can be averted if homeowners take the necessary step of getting shower sealers from popular shower seal dealers in Sydney and Nelson Bay. A simple leak is the early sign of a leaking shower that can be prevented in time to save costly renovations.
