Water works through plaster, walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinets and finishes, and persistent moisture brings mould with it \u2014 including in the places you cannot see, behind tiles and under the tray.<\/p>\n<p><b>In Calpe this matters more than the average advice article suggests<\/b>, because so much of the housing stock here is apartments and multi-storey buildings. A shower leak on one floor is a ceiling repair on the one below, and at that point it stops being a plumbing job and becomes a building repair involving two households, two insurers and often the community.<\/p>\n<p>Catching it early is not just about the shower. It is about keeping the problem inside your own bathroom.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ppb-sec\">\n<h2 id=\"replace\">Does the shower need replacing?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>Usually not. Faulty connections, damaged hoses, leaking valves, waste fittings and isolated pipework can normally be dealt with as a targeted repair.<\/p>\n<p>More extensive work comes in when the waterproofing has failed across the whole installation, when finishes are already damaged, or when the installation is old enough that repairing one part just moves the problem along. A proper inspection is what tells you which of the two you are in \u2014 and it is worth having that answer before anyone starts removing tiles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ppb-sec\">\n<h2 id=\"help\">How 100% Plumbing can help<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>We find where the water is escaping and carry out the work that actually fits the fault: visible shower leaks, faulty fittings, waste connections, hidden pipework and the bathroom plumbing around them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ppb-trust\">\n<div class=\"ppb-trust__item\">\n    <b>24h emergency line<\/b><br \/>\n    <span>For a leak that is reaching the property below.<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"ppb-trust__item\">\n    <b>Our own guarantee<\/b><br \/>\n    <span>We offer our own comprehensive guarantee for the work we carry out.<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"ppb-trust__item\">\n    <b>136 Google reviews<\/b><br \/>\n    <span>Verified reviews from customers across the Costa Blanca.<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/general-plumbing\/\">general plumbing<\/a> and our full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/plumbing-services\/\">plumbing services<\/a>.

If water appears through a wall, floor or ceiling while the fittings look fine, it is hidden. Signs of a hidden leak include damp outside the shower area, staining on walls or ceilings, recurring mould, loose or lifting tiles, and unexplained moisture in the room below.\"}},\n        {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"When is a leaking shower urgent?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"When water reaches the room or property below, when the leak is getting visibly worse, when the shower cannot be isolated, when the floor stays wet, when tiles or finishes are being damaged, when water is near electrical fittings, or when the property is a rental or holiday let.\"}},\n        {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can a leaking shower cause serious damage?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Over time even a small leak damages plaster, walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinets and finishes, and persistent moisture causes mould behind tiles and under the tray. In Calpe apartments and multi-storey buildings a leak can reach the property below, which turns a plumbing repair into a building repair.\"}},\n        {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does a leaking shower need replacing?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Usually not. Faulty connections, damaged hoses, leaking valves, waste fittings and isolated pipework can normally be fixed with a targeted repair. More extensive work is needed when waterproofing has failed across the installation, finishes are already damaged, or the installation is old enough that repairing one part only moves the problem.\"}},\n        {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What should I do while waiting for a plumber?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Stop using the shower, isolate it if there are isolation valves, move anything below it, keep away from electrical fittings if water has reached them, and if the property is an apartment, tell the neighbour below as early as possible.\"}}\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A leaking shower in Calpe needs a plumber who finds where the water is actually escaping before repairing anything \u2014 the fittings, the waste, the tray, the waterproofing, or pipework<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"Leaking Shower Repair in Calpe | 100% Plumbing","_seopress_titles_desc":"Leaking shower in Calpe? 100% Plumbing helps repair faulty fittings, hidden pipe leaks, drainage issues and bathroom plumbing problems.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"both","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":301,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faqs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1673"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1673\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1803,"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1673\/revisions\/1803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.100percentplumbing.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
