A leaking bathroom is something that you need to
take care of before it can become a real danger
to you and your family. You may think to ignore
it thinking it's just an inconvenience. However,
when you don't treat the leaking pipes
immediately, the situation can become worse. If
you are wondering what dangers you might have to
face due to bathroom leakage, here a few points
to enlighten you
01
G R O W T H O F M O U L D A N D M I L D E W
Whenever there is moisture retention, you will
observe the colour of the tiles changing with
time. This is due to the growth of mould, algae
and other fungi. As leaking pipes keep the
moisture intact in the bathroom, the colour
change happens due to the growth of harmful
organisms. This will not only cause slippery
surfaces but also can cause other health-related
problems.

Due to the leakage of water from pipes, more
water is consumed from your tank. This prompts
you to turn on the motor to fill water to the
optimum level. If you are neglecting to solve
the leaking water problem, you will have to pay
more both water and electricity bills. Moreover,
the power load on your AC increases because of
the increased humidity levels in your room.

Retained water is the worst enemy for your walls,
floors, and furniture. Due to this moisture, you
will see peeling paint, metal corroding, and wood
rotting, etc. To save your house from structural
damage, you have to act immediately and repair
the leaking in your bathroom or from any other
pipe from your house.

Do you know that pests are often attracted to
moist places? Pests reach the moist places and
start their population gradually, which becomes a
major problem if you left them untreated. You
will have to spend double the money one to fix
the leaking pipe and other for clearing the pest
damage.
W H A T ' S T H E S O L U T I O N ? Reading all
these points, bathroom with leaking pipes is sure
a major problem. Hence, you need to make sure
that you are waterproofing your bath and shower
spaces at your home. The simple solution is to
use a shower waterproofing membrane. It is a
membrane that covers the joints and corners of
the bathroom, not allowing water to leak from the
pipes. Made by hybrid polyurethane and acrylics,
this waterproofing membrane protects your home
