Ever wondered what’s lurking beneath your beautiful bathroom tiles? Have you noticed a musty smell that just won’t shift, or perhaps spotted some suspicious staining on your ceiling below? If you’re a Melbourne homeowner, bathroom waterproofing should be right at the top of your home maintenance checklist. Here’s the thing – water damage is sneaky. It doesn’t announce itself with fanfare. Instead, it quietly seeps through gaps and cracks, causing structural damage that can cost thousands to repair.
