At Roncesvalles Plumbers, understanding and resolving your plumbing issues is our top priority. A common nuisance that many of our clients in the Roncesvalles area encounter is a leaky showerhead. This seemingly small problem can lead to water wastage and increased utility bills. Let’s explore five potential causes of a leaky showerhead and how our experienced team can help fix them.
The most common cause of a leaky showerhead is a worn out washer or O-ring, which can degrade over time due to regular use and exposure to water pressure. These are located inside the showerhead or the hose assembly.
Solution: Replacing the washer or O-Ring is typically a simple and inexpensive fix. Our team can quickly replace these parts to stop the leak and ensure your shower operates efficiently.
In areas with hard water, mineral deposits such as calcium and lime can build up inside the showerhead’s nozzles, causing blockages and forcing water to leak.
Solution: Our plumbing experts can clean your showerhead to remove these mineral deposits. Additionally, installing a water softener system can prevent future build-up and protect your plumbing fixtures.
If a showerhead is not installed correctly, or if it’s the wrong size or type for your plumbing system, it may not function properly, leading to leaks.
Solution: Roncesvalles Plumbers can ensure that your showerhead is correctly installed and compatible with your home’s plumbing system. If necessary, we can provide recommendations for a suitable replacement and install it professionally.
Physical damage to the showerhead such as cracks or breaks can also lead to leaks. This damage might be caused by impact or material fatigue.
Solution: Inspecting the showerhead for any physical damage is crucial. Our team can replace a damaged showerhead with a high-quality model that ensures durability and efficiency.
Excessively high water pressure can cause ongoing stress on your showerhead as well as other plumbing fixtures, leading to leaks.
Solution: Installing a pressure regulator can manage and reduce the water pressure flowing into your home, which not only prevents leaks but also extends the life of your plumbing appliances.
