Shower leaks and drips
EPA WaterSense says a showerhead leaking at 10 drips per minute wastes more than 500 gallons a year. Some showerhead drips are fixed by tightening the connection to the pipe and using pipe tape. If the shower keeps dripping when it is turned off, the problem is often inside the valve behind the handle. For more complicated valve leaks in showers that drip when not in use, EPA WaterSense recommends contacting an experienced professional.
Shower valve and cartridge repair
The shower valve mixes hot and cold water. When its cartridge or seals wear out, you may see a constant drip, a handle that is hard to turn, water that will not get hot or cold enough, or temperature that jumps when someone flushes a toilet. Shower repair in Dallas often means replacing the cartridge or seals; an old valve that is corroded or no longer has parts available may need to be replaced, which means opening the wall behind it.
Bathtub repair: spouts, diverters and drains
Bathtub repair in Dallas covers a tub spout that drips or sprays when the shower is on, a diverter that will not send all the water to the showerhead, an overflow plate or drain that leaks, and a stopper that no longer holds water. A leaking tub drain or overflow is easy to miss because the water runs below the tub, into the floor or the ceiling of the room underneath.
Leaks behind the wall or under the tub
Water stains on a ceiling below a bathroom, loose or stained tile, soft flooring next to the tub, or a musty smell can all point to a hidden shower or tub leak. The source may be the valve, the pipe to the showerhead, the drain, or worn grout and caulk letting water behind the tile. A plumber checks the plumbing first so you know whether it is a pipe leak or a sealing problem before walls are opened. In slab homes, a leak under the floor may be a slab leak rather than a shower problem.
Low pressure or no hot water in the shower
If only the shower is weak, the showerhead may be clogged with mineral buildup or the valve cartridge may be restricted. Standard showerheads use 2.5 gallons per minute, and EPA WaterSense labeled models use no more than 2.0, so a newer low-flow head can feel different without anything being wrong. If the whole house has weak pressure or no hot water anywhere, the cause is more likely the main line or the water heater.
