Waterproofing failures are one of the most common — and most expensive — problems we see in older Sydney bathrooms. Here are five warning signs it may be time for a renovation.
- Bubbling or lifting tiles — water trapped behind tiles is often the first visible sign of a failed membrane.
- Musty smells or visible mould — persistent mould around grout lines or skirting can indicate moisture penetrating the substrate.
- Damp patches on ceilings below — if you have a bathroom upstairs, staining on the ceiling below is a strong indicator of a leak.
- Soft or spongy flooring — timber or particleboard subfloors that feel soft underfoot have likely been absorbing water for some time.
- Peeling paint near the bathroom — moisture migrating through walls can cause paint to bubble or peel in adjoining rooms.
