Reasons showers leak

Welcome back, Donnie D. here.

You are here because you want to know why your tiled walk in shower is leaking or may be leaking. I will list from my experience what I have seen why a walk in shower will leak. In no specific order.

  • No waterproofing or lack of waterproofing

  • Waterproofing not installed correctly

  • Waterproofing at shower drain connection failed or not installed correctly

  • In rare cases the shower drain plumbing, or plumbing supply lines

Thats really it. Sad thing it most walk in showers are not installed correctly and lead to failures, which I get called for on a weekly basis .

Most important thing is that your hire a well skilled tradesman and or contractor that has some one who will properly build your shower, which will see more water than your roof.

This video below will go over what I said here in this blog
