Bathtubs and showers require maintenance. Water valve seats can begin to wear resulting in dripping and sometimes serious leaks. Shower heads can become plugged with calcium and other hard mineral deposits. Caulking can become hard and brittle, allowing water to get past, potentially causing damage to shower walls and the supporting structure. By following some of our tips below you will have a better idea of what the problem may be before you call Pipe Bros.
Repair Shower Valve Leaking
If you can visually observe water leaking from your shower or tub valve, the valve seats should be inspected to see if they are loose or have simply worn out and need to be replaced. This process can be a little tricky, and we recommend you have one of our plumbers not only inspect the valve, but to also inspect for possible water seepage behind the shower wall.
Clogged Shower Head
Over time, shower heads can build up with mineral deposits such as calcium and lime. With the proper pliers, the shower head can be removed and soaked for a couple hours in a container filled with CLR which can be purchased from your local store. CLR breaks down the deposits so that water can pass through the shower head. When you replace the shower head, it’s advised that you use some plumbing tape to seal the shower head threading during the re-install process.
Inspect Caulking for Signs of Shower or Bathtub Leaks
A good approach is to inspect your shower and bathtub caulking for signs of water seepage. Water seepage isn’t always easy to detect, as the water can actually get behind the shower panels by going through the cracks in the caulking. Look closely at every seem where caulking has been used to make sure the caulking hasn’t separated from the surfaces where it was applied.
