Common Shower Issues Homeowners Face

Shower problems often start with small signs, but can quickly worsen if ignored. If you notice any of the following issues, it may be time to call a professional: 

  • Low water pressure: This may stem from clogged showerheads, worn-out valves, or hidden pipe buildup that restricts flow and compromises water efficiency.
  • Leaking showerheads or faucets: Worn-out washers or faulty valves cause constant dripping that wastes water, increases utility bills, and damages surrounding fixtures. 
  • Slow drains or standing water: Often caused by hair, soap scum, or deeper blockages, slow drains can lead to mold growth or pipe damage. 
  • Noisy showers: Whistling, banging, or screeching noises could indicate loose parts, high water pressure, or a faulty showerhead.
  • Cracked tiles: Although it may seem cosmetic, cracked tiles or damaged grout can allow moisture to seep behind walls, leading to water damage.
  • Inconsistent water temperature: A faulty or aging water heater could be to blame, making your showers frustrating or even unsafe.

No matter the issue, delaying repairs can lead to bigger, more costly problems. That's where we come in.

We handle any shower repair that’s needed, but we often help homeowners with the following common shower repairs:

  • Water pressure fixes

When we arrive at your home, we’ll inspect every possible cause of your shower’s failure. Between your shower’s plumbing hookup, as well as the enclosures, faucets, and fixtures, a lot can go wrong. Our plumbers will examine items such as leaks, faulty components, and unseen plumbing issues. 

Once the problem is identified, our team will fully repair the issue and provide you with long-term maintenance solutions to prevent these problems from happening again. 

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing's Shower Repair Process

From inspection to resolution, we take a thorough, problem-solving approach to get your shower working like new. Here's what to expect: 

  1. In-home assessment: When we arrive, we’ll inspect your entire shower system, from plumbing hookups to fixtures, enclosures, and valves, to pinpoint the issue.
  2. Diagnose the problem: Our plumbers check for leaks, faulty components, or hidden plumbing issues that are causing failure or inefficiency.
  3. Complete, reliable repair: Once we've identified the issue, we make the necessary repairs using durable parts and trusted techniques to restore proper function.
  4. Preventive maintenance recommendations: After the repair and thorough cleanup, we provide ways to maintain your shower and prevent the issues from recurring. 

The Types of Showers We Repair

We repair all types of showers, including:

  • Stand-up showers
  • Walk-in showers
  • Bathtub and shower combos
  • Walk-in tub showers
  • Custom showers
  • Corner showers

Additionally, our licensed plumbers have experience working with all types of showerheads. Whether it's a traditional, dual, rainfall, handheld, or low-flow showerhead, we can accurately diagnose the problem. Based on your showerhead type and issue, we'll also recommend the best repair solution.

Showerhead Replacement Services

Many homeowners notice problems specifically with their showerheads. You might notice low water pressure, uneven spray, mineral buildup, or leaks. If your showerhead is beyond repair or uses more water than necessary, replacing it may be the smarter option.

Our plumbers are available to discuss replacement options that perfectly fit your style, plumbing setup, and budget. 

If you want to reduce your water bill, our plumbers can install low-flow aerating showerheads in one or all of your showers. These eco-friendly options use much less water than their traditional counterparts without sacrificing water pressure.

Shower Repair FAQs

Why is my showerhead leaking?

A leaking showerhead could be the result of:

  • Damaged inner seals
  • Damaged mix tap
  • Damaged valve cartridge 
  • A clog
  • Improper installation
  • Loose washer
  • Mineral buildup
  • Worn down O-ring

How Do You Stop a Leaking Showerhead?

If your showerhead is leaking, first check for mineral buildup. If you notice white calcium deposits, try these tips for cleaning your showerhead.

Next, remove the showerhead and check if the washer or O-ring is broken or worn. If so, replace them and reattach the showerhead. If the leak persists, call your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for repair. 

Why does my shower make a high-pitched noise?

Some reasons why your shower is making a high-pitched noise include:

  • Clogged showerhead 
  • Clogged shower cartridge  
  • Worn-out shower valve
  • Faulty diverter valve 

If you notice the sound is coming primarily from your showerhead, you can try cleaning it first. Otherwise, a clogged cartridge or faulty valve will require professional repair. 

Can a clogged shower drain cause a leak?

Yes. Clogs and blockages in your drain can cause water to build up. Over time, this can result in drain water leaking out of joints and seals. If you notice that your shower drain is slow or smelly, it’s likely a clogged drain. Call our experts at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for shower drain leak repair services.
