Shower Leak Detection
Leaking showers are one of the most common — and most damaging — leaks in Queensland homes. We find exactly where the water is escaping before recommending any remediation.
After a leak was detected near my driveway, Kevin very carefully jack-hammered through and found the leaking pipe. He removed the pipe, replaced it with a new one, cemented over it and very neatly finished the surface. Kevin is an excellent plumber and problem solver — I would recommend him for any plumbing job.
Shower Leak Detection
Don't rip out tiles until you know exactly what's leaking. We use moisture mapping and thermal imaging to pinpoint the source first.
Thermal Imaging We map moisture and temperature behind tiles, in walls and under floors to identify exactly where water is travelling — without removing a single tile.
Moisture Meters We use calibrated moisture meters to measure the extent of water ingress in walls, floors and ceilings around your shower.
Shower Base Integrity Testing We test the shower base and membrane for integrity — identifying whether the leak is from the membrane, grout, screen, waste or supply pipes.
Written Report We provide a detailed written report identifying the source and extent of the leak — essential for insurance claims and for briefing a tiler or waterproofer.
No Unnecessary Demolition We won't recommend pulling out tiles unless we know exactly what we're dealing with. Our report gives a clear picture first.
QBCC Licensed Our detection work is carried out by QBCC licensed plumbers who understand how showers are built and how they fail.
