Hidden Water Damage
Stop Shower Leaks Early
A leaking shower often starts small: a few loose tiles, water pooling in the corner, or that musty smell that never quite goes away. But left unchecked, it can cause serious damage behind walls and under floors.
At Port Macquarie Plumbing, we detect and repair leaking showers across Port Macquarie before they lead to mould, rot or expensive structural repairs.
We find the real cause of the leak, whether it’s cracked grout, failed waterproofing, or hidden plumbing issues behind the wall. Our team can repair or replace pipes, reseal the shower base and reconnect fixtures with the right tools and techniques. We work cleanly and efficiently, so you’re not left with a bigger mess.
If your shower is showing signs of a leak, call 02 6584 8878 and get it sorted before things get worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a shower to leak behind the wall?
Leaks behind shower walls are usually caused by failing waterproofing membranes, cracked tiles, deteriorated grout, or leaking pipe connections. Over time, water seeps into the wall cavity and floor substrate, leading to timber rot, mould and swelling. These leaks can go undetected for months, especially in older homes or poorly sealed showers. A professional inspection from Port Macquarie Plumbing can help pinpoint the exact source before major damage occurs.
Can a leaking shower cause structural damage?
Yes. Long-term shower leaks can lead to serious structural issues. Moisture trapped under tiles or behind walls can weaken timber framing, floor joists and plasterboard. In multi-storey homes or units, it can also damage ceilings below. Mould growth is another major concern, posing health risks and requiring costly remediation. Early detection and repair are essential to prevent long-term damage and protect your property.
How do I know if my shower is leaking?
Common signs include damp smells, loose or cracked tiles, water stains on adjacent walls or ceilings, peeling paint, or soft flooring near the shower. You might also notice water pooling in places it shouldn’t, or consistent moisture even when the shower hasn’t been used. If you suspect a leak, it’s best to have it checked by Port Macquarie Plumbing before damage becomes visible, or costly.

Professional Repairs
Protect Your Bathroom Investment
Leaking showers don’t just waste water, they can quietly damage everything around them. From swollen cabinetry and stained ceilings to dangerous black mould, moisture can spread fast when plumbing or sealing isn’t up to scratch. That’s why we don’t just patch things up. We fully assess the shower area, check for plumbing faults, and make sure everything is sealed properly to avoid repeat problems.
Our team repairs leaking taps, loose mixers, cracked tiles and faulty drainage that can lead to persistent leaks. We’re also equipped to collaborate with builders or waterproofers if needed, especially for older bathrooms or renovation projects. Whether it’s a modern ensuite or a tired rental property, we’ll make sure your shower runs as it should, with no leaks, no drama, and no hidden damage waiting to surface.
