Bathroom Leakage Renovation in Malaysia: What to Check First
Before renovating a leaking bathroom, check pipes, floor traps, waterproofing, corners, and the exact seepage location.
Find the leak source first
Leaks may come from pipes, floor traps, corners, damaged membrane, shower kerbs, or an upper unit. The repair scope depends on the source.
Treat the substrate during renovation
Changing tiles alone may not solve leakage. After hacking, check substrate, slope, pipe penetrations, and wall-floor junctions.
Testing matters more than promises
A ponding test before tiling and drainage checks before handover are important parts of the work.
