Water Behind Wall Tiles

They can often cause damp and mould within surfaces behind tiles and can even threaten the structural integrity of walls so it s important to tackle the issue at the first sign of a leak.

Water behind wall tiles.

These tiles are actually pvc panels that match up seamlessly with a 3 d pattern that gives the look of individual tiles. Tiles and paint dripping or spraying water in the wall will soak the plasterboard or drywall. Paint peeling from the wall in and around the shower is one sign of a leak. The panels are made of anti bacterial and anti mold pvc that doesn t emit dioxins and are water heat and humidity resistant so these can be used in your kitchen or bath.

Water getting behind tiles can also damage the tile adhesive which could cause tiles to come loose and possibly fall off the wall altogether. Cracks in the tile gaps in between the tile and a bead of caulk or chips in the grout can allow water to make its way underneath or behind the tiled surface. Leaky tiles can occur anywhere where water is used whether it s a shower a wet room or a kitchen splashback.
