Waterproofing has regulations that must comply with Australia’s building code and Australian standards, which state any wet area must be waterproofed.
We’ve spoken about the damage a leaky shower and poor waterproofing can do to the structure of your home in previous blogs. But what exactly is waterproofing, and why is it so important to have it completed by a licensed professional? Read on to discover more from the experts in shower waterproofing Coomera!

The shower. It must be one of the most used household utilities ever. On average, Australian’s spend 7 minutes in the shower, with a third of us showering twice a day. If you live in a busy household, that is a whole lot of ‘shower action’ going on every single day. Great to hear you’re clean and smelling good, but how’s your shower going?

Life can get hectic at times. We often find ourselves running around, juggling tasks, and making a mental note of those un-done jobs that are beginning to pile up. So, when you notice a bit of a damp smell in your bathroom or a bit of mould on the broken silicone seal around your shower, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and push it to the back of your mind.

How bad can a bit of a leak be?
Well, as it turns out – pretty bad. Leaking baths and showers are a common issue, particularly with older homes. The bad thing about a leaky shower is they do not come with an alarm bell to warn you what is happening. Shower leaks are discreet and silent, making it easy to not notice. But when water is escaping through the outer layer of tile and sealant, it can eventually enter parts of the home not designed to hold excess water or moisture.

Waterproofing Experts

When waterproofing showers, bathrooms and balconies it’s essential to work with experts to get the job done right! This article will review the basics of waterproofing, why it is important, and where to find waterproofing experts in south-east Queensland.

The Basics of Waterproofing
Waterproofing repairs on showers, bathrooms and balconies prevent moisture from passing through them causing structural damage to the internal frame of your home. In simple terms, a waterproof membrane is applied in a thick layer that keeps all moisture from leaching into areas of your home that are vulnerable to water.

For example, it could be dangerous if your shower leaks into the floors causing the wood to rot or deteriorate. This is a concern (and expensive!) if your shower is on the second story of your home. However, there will inevitably be water in your shower, so you must apply waterproofing materials to keep it contained. In industry terms, this process is a part of shower sealing.
According to the Australian building code, waterproofing is required anywhere in your home that has a water outlet. This includes your shower, laundry room, bathrooms, and other areas.
Your shower floors and walls must be waterproofed, in addition to your bathroom walls. Interestingly, if your shower is on the second story, you are required to waterproof the entire room – especially if the flooring is made out of wood!

Why Is Waterproofing Important?
So, why is working with an expert in waterproofing essential?
Well, as you might be aware, water is a very corrosive substance and can do a lot of damage to your home. If water seeps through your floors or walls and goes undetected, it can cause numerous problems. Wet or rotting wood will also attract termites that can cause extensive damage as they eat their way through the timber frame of your home. A waterproofing specialist will ensure the job is done correctly the first time. However if you need waterproofing repairs due to a leaky shower for example, the right waterproofing expert will fix the issue, reducing any further damage to your home.
