You may think to ignore it thinking it's just an inconvenience. However, when you don't treat the leaking pipes immediately, the situation can become worse. If you are wondering what dangers you might have to face due to bathroom leakage, here a few points to enlighten you: 01 G R O W T H O F M O U L D A N D M I L D E W Whenever there is moisture retention, you will observe the colour of the tiles changing with time. This is due to the growth of mould, algae and other fungi. As leaking pipes keep the moisture intact in the bathroom, the colour change happens due to the growth of harmful organisms. This will not only cause slippery surfaces but also can cause other health-related problems. H I G H E L E C T R I C I T Y A N D W A T E R B I L L S 02 Due to the leakage of water from pipes, more water is consumed from your tank. This prompts you to turn on the motor to fill water to the optimum level. If you are neglecting to solve the leaking water problem, you will have to pay more both water and electricity bills. Moreover, the power load on your AC increases because of the increased humidity levels in your room. L E A K I N G B A T H R O O M C A U S E S S T R U C T U R A L D A M A G E 03 Retained water is the worst enemy for your walls, floors, and furniture. Due to this moisture, you will see peeling paint, metal corroding, and wood rotting, etc. To save your house from structural damage, you have to act immediately and repair the leaking in your bathroom or from any other pipe from your house.

Pests reach the moist places and start their population gradually, which becomes a major problem if you left them untreated. You will have to spend double the money; one to fix the leaking pipe and other for clearing the pest damage. W H A T ' S T H E S O L U T I O N ? Reading all these points, bathroom with leaking pipes is sure a major problem. Hence, you need to make sure that you are waterproofing your bath and shower spaces at your home.
