Showers And Shower Leaks
Shower leaks often go unnoticed for weeks sometimes months before they are discovered and often it is only when damp marks are found on walls and carpets that people realize that they have a problem. Leaking showers can cause major damage to a property and can actually attract termites into your home.
It is advisable to regularly inspect your tiles for any signs of damage such as hairline fractures, grout falling out and silicon sealant peeling away. Leaking taps, leaking pipes behind or underneath a shower are best inspected by a plumber. These defects can often be easily repaired cheaply. The smallest defect can allow water to get behind the tiles and cause dampness in the wall and if there is timber behind the wall sheets the dampness and timber are favourite attractions for termites!
If your pipes are leaking behind the wall our Brisbane plumbers can test, locate and repair the leak for you. If the grout lines need to be resealed or if the tiles themselves have small fractures then our plumbing Brisbane service can seal your shower to prevent water getting into the walls and floors. If your tiles have to be replaced then we can do this for you also.
Due to the fact that hair often caused blocked shower drains it is advisable to use drain acid to clear the hair from the shower drain every few months as a preventative measure against blocked drains. Even the regular use a sink plunger can help dislodge any hair, soap etc that may be building up inside the drain which could potentially cause a blockage.
Plumbing Brisbane often requires the use of drain acid, electric ell machines, plungers etc to clear blocked shower drains and at Smart State Plumbing Services we are always able to help you.
