There are a lot of signs that you may have a water leak in your bathroom. Decreased water pressure, lack of hot water, larger than normal water bills, damp walls, and a constant sound of running or dripping water are just a few of the signs that something may be going on, and it can often be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. This difficulty is the reason why Hilton Plumbing offers bathroom leak testing services.
Internal leaks in the bathroom can be a very serious issue. Generally, the issues stem from the fact that they are so hard to detect, and extensive damage can happen in a relatively short amount of time.
A broken tile can often be seen as an aesthetic issue, but it is often a sign of water damage. The tiles are no longer protecting the subflooring or the walls, and water can be absorbed or seep into the structural parts of the home.
A shower door that won’t close all the way can be a sign that you have an internal water leak. The damage to the shower will cause it to expand and make the door no longer fit into place.
A shower or bath that always looks dirty due to mould on the grout and caulk could be a leak. The constant moisture causes the mould to grow at a rapid pace, leaving your bath looking black and mouldy.
