Common Shower Problems
A shower that drips after you turn it off usually has a worn cartridge or a failing valve seat inside the mixing valve. Low water pressure from the showerhead can be caused by mineral buildup, a partially closed valve, or a problem in the supply line.
Leaking behind the shower wall is harder to detect but often shows up as water stains on the ceiling below, peeling paint, or a musty smell in the bathroom.
Cracked or deteriorating grout and caulk can let water seep behind the tile, but the underlying issue is often a plumbing connection that needs repair.
What We Do
We diagnose the source of the problem and repair the specific component that’s failing. For dripping showers, we typically replace the cartridge or valve seat.
For pressure issues, we check the supply lines, shut-off valves, and showerhead for restrictions. If the leak is behind the wall, we locate it and repair the connection with as little disruption as possible.
We test everything under full water pressure before finishing the job.
