Why Do I Need to Waterproof Around Taps?

Why is it so important to install our tap flange?
The most important reason to install our tap flange is to avoid letting water into your wall cavities. Water will ruin your flooring and wallboard and cause mould growth, which could affect your health if left untreated.

When you compare our tap flange to other sealing methods around a tap, you will find that our plumbing tap flange is a far superior method to seal around your taps. Other methods, such as silicone or a waterproof bandages that must be cut to size, are not as reliable or effective as our specified tap penetration flange. It makes it very difficult and often damaging to attempt repairs, when silicone is attached to the tap base caused by the bandages. 

When your tap is newly installed, whether in a new construction or a remodel, you must ensure water cannot get past it. This can be done in many ways, but they are rarely satisfactory answers. However, with our Waterbar tap flange, you will be able to install it quickly and easily with no fear of water leaking behind the wallboard.

What if you have a leaking tap?
Does water leak from your ceiling, right below the upstairs bathroom? Or do you notice a mildew smell coming from your shower, and it will not go away? Or is the wallboard starting to become weak and the tiles starting to come loose?

These are all signs that you have not sealed your tap correctly and that the walls and floor may be getting damaged by the water leaking around the tap.

Once flooring such as carpet and vinyl becomes too wet, there is little chance of saving it. Hardwood floors may begin to buckle, vinyl planks may get ruined, and carpet may begin to grow mould from the moisture.   

This would not be an issue if you have installed a proper tap penetration flange around your tap. The Waterbar tap flange design makes it easy to see how it will keep any water from entering your wall cavity if installed correctly. The recessed design, slim interior opening, and slanted edges will guide the water from your tap and back into the shower space, protecting your walls, floors, and sanity.
