What we do to repair damaged walls
Termites and timber rot are the biggest destroyers of homes, attacking the timber frame that holds the roof in position.
The first thing that always deteriorates or is eaten is the bottom plate. The timber holds the wall from moving SIDE TO SIDE and holds the trusses up as there would be a lot of downwards weight. Based on the integrity of the frame, a lot of movements can occur thus causing the waterproofing membrane to be compromised.
What we do first:
- Stabilise the wall by propping them to take the weight off the ceilings.
- Replace the bottom plate with new CCA Treated pine, we dyner bolt them into position.
- Then we work to replace or strengthen the stud walls, using always treated studs.
In this process of repairing damaged walls, we would require enormous time to view the exactly damaged location on the wall. We repair the damage to be sturdy using screw and glue the new timber to old studs. We would recommend you to fix a leaking shower at the earliest, as it will cost less. If neglected, it might require a replacement for higher costs.
What you can do to protect your home
- Always check for moulds, it's the biggest giveaway, like cupboards, door jams and skirting will discolour.
- The damp smell is another culprit.
- Termites can enter through weep hole and compromise your timber studs.
- If you are unable to recognise a leak, get a plumber to check if the damp is caused by a leaking pipe or water proofing membrane failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Leaking showers are often caused by deteriorated waterproofing membranes, cracked or missing grout, faulty silicone seals, damaged tiles, or plumbing issues behind the wall. Identifying the exact cause is crucial to applying the right long-term fix.
Yes, in many cases, a leaking shower can be repaired without removing tiles. Techniques such as re-grouting, resealing, or applying waterproof epoxy coatings allow for non-invasive repairs, ideal for minor to moderate leaks with intact tiles.
Signs like mould, dampness on adjacent walls, or water stains below the shower may suggest a plumbing issue. A professional inspection, often using moisture meters or thermal imaging, can pinpoint the leak source accurately before any repair begins.
Most surface level repairs, like re-sealing and re-grouting, can be completed in 3 to 6 hours, with a recommended drying time of 24 to 48 hours before reuse. If the issue involves deeper waterproofing or plumbing, the repair may take several days.
Yes, untreated shower leaks can lead to serious structural problems, including timber rot, subfloor damage, mould growth, and compromised waterproofing. Addressing leaks early helps protect your home’s integrity and avoid costly restorations later.
