Up to 90% of Showers Eventually Leak

 Showers can leak for a variety of reasons. The most common causes include improper waterproofing, incorrectly sloped shower pans, and poor cement board installation.

In the Raleigh, NC area, we’ve spoken with industry leaders who estimate that as many as 98% of tile installers are not properly trained to build a fully waterproof shower system. That leaves only a small percentage of professionals who are truly equipped to deliver a watertight, long-lasting installation.

When it comes to your home, proper waterproofing isn’t optional — it’s essential.

 Some of the most common signs of a leaking shower include mold growth, cracked grout or tiles, and soft or rotting subfloors.

When moisture gets behind your walls or beneath your flooring, it can lead to a range of additional problems such as wood rot, rusted fasteners, discoloration, pest issues, and even structural damage over time.

Excess moisture and mold can also affect indoor air quality, which may contribute to headaches, sinus irritation, or recurring illness.

Addressing a leak early can prevent costly repairs and protect both your home and your health.
