Shower Leak

Shower leakage can be a frustrating problem, leading to water waste, increased utility bills, and potential damage to your home. At Niko's Plumbing, we specialize in diagnosing and fixing shower leaks to restore the functionality and efficiency of your plumbing system.

Common Causes of Shower Leaks

1. Worn-Out Shower Cartridge

The shower cartridge is a crucial component that controls water flow and temperature. Over time, cartridges can wear out or become damaged, leading to leaks. Common signs of a faulty cartridge include water dripping from the showerhead even when it's turned off or difficulty adjusting the water temperature.

2. Faulty Stem Kit Valves

In older shower models, stem kit valves are often used instead of modern cartridges. These valves can wear out or become corroded, causing leaks. Symptoms of faulty stem kit valves include water seeping around the valve handle or a constant drip from the showerhead.

3. Cracked or Broken Pipes

Although less common, leaks can also stem from cracks or breaks in the shower pipes themselves. This is often due to age, high water pressure, or physical damage. Such issues require immediate attention to prevent extensive water damage behind walls or under the shower floor.

4. Loose or Damaged Connections

Loose connections between the showerhead, faucet, and pipes can result in leaks. Regular use can cause fittings to loosen or gaskets to wear out, leading to water escaping from joints and connections.
