Bathroom & Wet Areas in Footscray - Frequently Asked Questions
I live in a Footscray walk-up flat and my neighbour's bathroom leak is damaging my ceiling. Who's responsible?
In strata properties, the body corporate is typically responsible for shared waterproofing infrastructure. We can assess the damage, identify the source, and provide a report to the body corporate with recommended repairs. We regularly handle these multi-unit situations in Footscray.
How do I know if my shower is leaking?
Common signs include damp patches on adjacent walls, water stains on the ceiling below, loose or cracked tiles, and musty smells in the bathroom.
Can you fix a leaking shower without removing all tiles?
In some cases, yes. We assess whether regrouting and recaulking can resolve the issue. If the membrane has failed, tile removal is necessary for a proper fix.
How long does a bathroom repair take?
A standard shower base repair typically takes 3-5 days including cure times. Full bathroom renovations may take 1-2 weeks.
