Continuous dripping will waste gallons of water every

day. The leak won’t only raise your water bill but will also make use of your water heater, thus resulting to high

electricity or gas charges.




Aside from your expenses, a leaking shower may also

cause damage to your property. If the water dribbles onto the wall, it may promote the growth of mold, cause dry rot and other related issues.




If you are currently experiencing this problem, follow this easy-to-follow DIY guide to put a stop to

that leak immediately!




It is possible that the handle is not properly shut

off. Make sure that it is turned as far as it should go

in the off position. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, move on to the next step.




Turn off the water supply valves before doing any kind of repair on your

shower. If you are not sure where the fixture’s valve is located, just turn the main

line off.




When you’re sure that no water will come out of the

tap, remove the faucet handle by prying off the decorative cap with your knife. Detach the screw

that’s located right under the cap with your

screwdriver.




If the faucet handle’s screw won’t budge, you can

warm it up with your hair dryer or you may also use a

handle puller.




Detach the old cartridge that’s going to be exposed

once you remove the faucet’s handle. Use a

cartridge puller to complete this task. Install a

new cartridge.




Once done, remove the shower faucet with the use of your reliable wrench or a pair of pliers. Let the water

drain out of the tap.




In some cases, a worn out rubber gasket is the

culprit. Install a new gasket and guarantee that you’ll

position it properly in place. It should not move while it’s inside the tap.




Get your wrench and re-attach the shower’s faucet.

Secure it but never over tighten it.




Turn the water supply valve on and test if the leak

is gone. If the problem persists, call a professional.




Follow this shower leak repair guide to stop the drip ASAP. Should you need a professional
