Shower leaks are often easy to detect with the right techniques. Watch for these telltale signs:

1. Persistent Dripping
   If your showerhead or faucet drips after being turned off, it may have a worn-out washer or valve.
2. Water Stains or Mold Growth
   Stains on walls, ceilings, or floors near the shower indicate water is escaping where it shouldn’t.
3. Spiking Water Bills
   A sudden increase in your water bill might be a hidden leak—especially if other appliances are functioning properly.
4. Loose Tiles or Cracked Grout
   Leaks behind walls or beneath floors can loosen tiles and crack grout, leading to further water damage.

Fixing shower leaks requires addressing their specific source. Here are common solutions:

1. Replace Worn Parts
   Drips caused by faulty washers or O-rings can be resolved with inexpensive replacements.
2. Recaulk the Shower
   Seal any gaps or cracks around your shower with fresh, waterproof caulking.
3. Inspect and Replace Valves
   Leaks inside the wall may require replacing a valve—work best handled by a professional plumber.
4. Repair or Replace the Shower Pan
   Cracks in the shower pan can lead to leaks; resealing or replacing it is often necessary.

A few simple maintenance habits can help prevent leaks in the future:

• Regularly check for drips or wear and tear.
• Avoid over-tightening faucets, which can damage seals.
• Schedule annual plumbing inspections with us to catch problems early.
