Worried your Emerton shower may be leaking?
7 signs your Emerton shower needs more than a quick fix
Wet ceiling patch below the shower
Water stains or damp patches on the ceiling below your bathroom often mean moisture has been leaking through the subfloor over time.
Adjacent wall may be damp or mouldy
Damp areas beside or behind the shower recess can indicate that the membrane or grout has failed and water is travelling through the wall structure.
Hollow-sounding section of tiling
Shower tiles that produce a hollow sound when tapped may have water-damaged bedding and debonding from the substrate, often an early warning sign of cracking or lifting tiles.
Cracked or failed grout present
Cracked grout joints can let water enter directly behind the tiles. In Emerton, clay soil movement and heat-related expansion and contraction can crack grout sooner than in coastal suburbs.
Silicone appears failed at the hob or screen
Silicone failure at the hob junction, screen frame, or wall-floor intersection commonly occurs when it lifts, cracks, or becomes mouldy, allowing shower water to enter.
Water charges have increased
If your Emerton water bill has gone up unexpectedly and there are other signs, a membrane breach may be allowing shower water to travel to places other than the waste.
Damp smell suggesting moisture
When a musty smell remains in or near the bathroom despite the area looking dry, it may indicate moisture trapped within the wall cavity or subfloor and hidden mould growth.

Why Emerton shower leaks happen and why a coastal Sydney repair approach may not be enough
Why showers leak more in Emerton than coastal Sydney, and how clay soil contributes
Emerton's expansive clay soil geology causes the ground beneath properties to expand in wet conditions and contract during dry periods. This seasonal movement can transfer stress through the slab or subfloor and into the tile bedding and grout joints of a shower. Hairline grout cracks that appear minor are often the key water entry point and can widen steadily over time. Western Sydney also experiences far stronger temperature cycling than coastal suburbs, with Emerton regularly exceeding 42°C in summer and dropping below 5°C in winter. This thermal expansion and contraction can cause silicone sealants to break down faster than their stated service life, which is why Emerton showers repaired 8–10 years ago may now be leaking again.
What ProLeak checks during a free inspection of Emerton showers
In Emerton's older brick properties, we typically find during inspection that the shower floor membrane has failed completely or is close to complete failure, with the original liquid-applied or sheet membrane installed when the property was built now at the end of its life. In these instances, tile-on injection may slow water movement, but it will not correct the underlying membrane failure, and we will communicate that honestly. In newer Emerton properties, failure is more often seen at silicone joints, including the hob-to-tile junction, screen frame seal, and wall-floor angle silicone.
Local area profile
Emerton - 2770· Shower repair overview
Housing development era
Housing consists of 1970s–90s brick veneer homes and newer townhouses. Older homes are commonly affected by membrane failure, while newer homes are more often affected by silicone or grout failure.
Typical repair issue
Original membranes tend to deteriorate in older homes, silicone joints commonly fail in newer properties, and grout can crack from clay soil movement regardless of building age.
Clay movement and thermal expansion factor
Expansive clay soils and harsh Western Sydney temperature swings can cause grout and silicone to break down faster than in coastal suburbs

Choosing a repair that suits your Emerton shower
When is it best to carry out leaking shower repairs, and when could a different repair approach be required?
We will inspect your shower first, then clearly tell you which option applies once the free inspection is complete. Here is what we usually find:
Often suitable for standard leaking shower repairs
Loss of silicone seal integrity at the hob, screen frame, or wall-floor junction
Damaged grout lines in the shower requiring full regrouting
Water ingress has been identified at a specific junction or seal
The shower screen frame seals are letting water escape
Silicone along the wall-floor junction has split, lifted, or deteriorated
The problem is restricted to visible joints, seals, or grout lines
Most commonly found in newer Emerton homes, Stanhope Gardens, Kellyville Ridge, The Ponds and Ropes Crossing
A different type of repair may be required
The leak issue is not limited to a specific joint, seal, or grout line
A number of tiles sound hollow when tapped
Tiles appear cracked, loose, or lifted
Water damage indicates the issue may extend beyond the visible surface
A prior surface repair has not lasted
Subfloor movement appears to be influencing the condition of the tiled area
Most frequently found in Mount Druitt, Emerton, Dharruk, Blackett and Hebersham, older 1970s–80s homes
