You don't have to have a leak to get mould. Where is the mould growing? Is it on a part of the floor that often gets wet/damp? Interesting, figured it had to be related to water under the tiles. It's all in areas that never get wet unless mopped which is bugger all moisture anyway (plus windows are usually open or fan on). The shower base just has the darker grout which I assumed was due to be constantly exposed to water. There aren't any white growths/marks in that area at all. Re: White growth coming through grout in bathroom 4Jun 04, 2013 1:23 pm Hmmm Mould needs moisture/dampness to thrive so if it's not a spot that regularly gets wet then you may have a leak I would have no idea how to even start looking to see if there is a leak. Are there water marks on the ceiling below?

If it was a serious amount of water, I'd have found it somewhere else for sure.
