How we carry out targeted repairs in your bathroom after leak detection
After leak detection, we combine thermographic images from FLIR, moisture measurements with Protimeter and Gann, tracer gas measurements with Trotec, and endoscopy with Ridgid to make a repair decision. Examples include replacing a shower drain seal, refinishing the base joint, injecting cracks with epoxy, or replacing a press connection according to Kiwa certification. We work in accordance with NEN 1006 for drinking water installations and NEN 3215 for drains to ensure pressure resistance and blowdown capacity are guaranteed. If you would like to better understand the detection phase first, read how we work with bathroom leak detection without hacking so that you know the repair spot is exactly right.
Detection techniques and recovery choices in practice
We combine technology with repair so that you repair no more than necessary. Using thermography, we locate hot water leaks in floors or walls. With tracer gas based on hydrogen mixture, we detect microcracks in pipes. We test joints, sealant seams, and shower walls using fluorescein dye. With a smoke test, we assess drains and venting according to the principles of NEN 3215. These insights determine whether, for example, we renew the sealing of the shower membrane with high-quality systems from Sika or Mapei, or whether a pipe section with a press fitting needs to be replaced.

Types of bathroom leaks and the appropriate solution
- Pointing and sealant jointsDried-out silicone or cracked joints allow splashing and leakage water to pass through. The solution is to remove it, degrease the surface, prime it, and re-seal and re-grout, including a watertight base joint.
- Shower floor and shower drain: Defective seal around the gutter or damaged membrane causing leakage. Repair with new clamp flange, sealing kit, and correct floor slope.
- Hot and cold piping: Pressure loss due to hairline cracks or failing couplings. The solution is to replace the section and perform a pressure test in accordance with NEN 1006, with documentation of the measured values.
- Drain and siphon: Leaking sleeves or cracks in PVC. Repair with replacement of the defective part and smoke test to rule out residual leaks.
- Wall conduits and niches: Capillary action behind tiling due to defective sealing. The solution is detailed sealing with liquid membrane and new edge seals.

Is replacing only the sealant or grout sufficient, or does the waterproofing need to be redone?
Sometimes resealing or regrouting is exactly what is needed, for example, in the case of a peeling silicone edge along the bathtub rim or a few porous joints in the shower corner. We use mold-resistant sanitary sealant and durable epoxy grout, and then test whether everything is watertight using a load test and moisture measurements. This way, you avoid unnecessary renovations.
Persistent damp patches, a leaking shower drain collar, a cracked tile, or a defective sealing strip often indicate a waterproofing problem. In such cases, cosmetic repairs alone are not sufficient, and we repair the underlying waterproofing or replace the collar. Using UV dye, thermography, and a spray test where necessary, we verify that the cause has truly been resolved before completing the work.
