Default Re: tanking - why?!

I regularly do insurance jobs and nine out of ten of those are water damage in showers. I would say half are due to poor grouting or tiling the other half are settlement related. Anyway by the time the customer noticed the water in the next room or staining on the ceiling below the shower walls where well and truly knackered. Tanking would have stopped this damage to the walls and reduced my time & cost to retile. Tanking wont stop the water getting in if there is settlement and cracking of grout and addy but it sure makes the problem easier to resolve!
