Keep your home in top shape with regular maintenance and professional care. A small leak can grow into a major problem if you don't take care of it quickly.

A leaking shower head is not only annoying; it can also ruin your budget by the end of the month, especially if the leak is as a result of failure in the hot water faucet. While some leaks require professional attention, others don't. For this reason, you may want to know what you can do to fix shower leaks that are not super complicated.

When fixing the leak, keep in mind that the ideal solution in your case will largely depend on the issue causing the leak. As such, you can benefit from carefully diagnosing the system and ruling out the suspected causes for the leak before getting your tools out.

Reasons behind a leaking shower head

Leaks in your bathroom can be as a result of the shower head alone, or one or more components of the shower faucet. For a quicker diagnosis, here are two main key points to consider:

If your shower head leaks even with the faucet turned off, there may be a problem with the shower faucet. Depending on how long the issue has persisted, however, it can also be an issue with the shower head.

If the shower head leaks for a while after shutting off the faucet, and then stops completely, you most likely are dealing with an issue in the shower head alone.

Common fixes for a leaking shower head

While solutions for a leaking shower head vary depending on the issue causing the leaks, the following are the most common solutions for fixing shower leaks.

Unclogging the shower head
Installing a new diverter valve
Replacing the worn washers in your bathroom
Replacing the problem cartridge valve

Before starting your repair project, it's highly recommended that you shut off the water supply to your bathroom to avoid distractions. If you don't have an independent valve that stops water supply to the bathroom, you may have to go with the valve that shuts off water supply to the whole house. Luckily, you can get professionals to install a separate cutoff valve for your bathroom, so that you won't have to distract water supply to the whole house next time you want to work on a similar project.

If the issue looks complicated or the water continues dripping even after trying the above solutions, it may be time to get assistance from a professional & we specialize in solutions that work for you.

Health & Skin Solutions

Your health and skin matter!

Hard water with high concentrations of minerals like calcium and magnesium is defined as “hard water.” Unfortunately, these minerals react to soap and shampoo by forming chemicals that coagulate and don’t dissolve in water. These coagulants can make your skin dry and itchy, as well as clog your pores and cause acne breakouts. They also pull the moisture from your hair, making it dry and frizzy, and in some extreme cases, even causing hair loss. Fortunately, water softeners exist that extract the minerals from hard water and can keep it from rever reaching your shower head.

Your family’s health is obviously critical to you. You take the kids to the doctor for their check-ups, you throw out expired food, and you make sure everyone puts on sunscreen before going outside. But did you know that the plumbing in your home contributes as well. If you want to keep your family safe and healthy, there are factors in your home’s plumbing that can affect your well-being.

Solutions & Tips for remodeling your home

Ready to create your dream kitchen or bathroom, but not sure where to begin? Every trendy remodel website has grandiose tips for big bathrooms: hide the toilet, add a huge vanity, add a hot tub. What if you don’t have the space (or budget) for such huge renovations? Need a simple small bathroom design solution? We’ve got you covered!

Simple Small Bathroom Design Ideas.

1. Use your floor plan.

Unless you hate the floor plan of your bathroom, it’s a good idea to use the layout you already have. Reversing plumbing and moving fixtures can be done, but it can get expensive. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative with your use of space! Consider a trendy tiny tub, or get rid of the tub altogether and replace it with a simple standing shower. Need storage space? A vanity provides storage and looks great. If you’re all about minimalism, forgo the vanity for a standing sink instead.

2. Refinish

Building a beautiful bathroom doesn’t mean you have to start over. Determine what parts of the bathroom you want to stay the same or slightly change, and go from there. If you have a great vanity that’s the wrong color, stain or paint it rather than buying a new one. Keeping some of the old fixtures means less waste and you get to focus your budget on the things that really need to change.

3. Focus on Floors

Time to get rid of that old tile? Select your new flooring carefully, because it will get wet. Ceramic tile is usually a good waterproof selection, but make sure the grout is properly sealed. You don’t want to have to scrub tile weekly to keep your new bathroom beautiful.

4. Light it up

Bathrooms have more than one purpose, so they should have more than one lighting fixture. Overhead lighting is great for general use, but it can be pretty unflattering when you’re looking in the mirror. Consider the different ways you’ll want your bathroom to light up; the right lighting can really brighten up a space.

5. Ventilate

Don’t let all your hard remodeling work go to waste! We can help you think about ventilation from the beginning of the project, because mold and mildew can ruin a great bathroom. At the very least, you should have a fan that vents outside, but a functional window can really help to clear the air.

Bonus tip: Budget, budget, budget.

While your budget isn’t technically part of the design, it is an essential part of the home renovation process. Nothing is worse than designing the bathroom of your dreams only to face the fact that your budget just won’t cut it.

Hire a Contractor.

You might think you can save money by doing a kitchen remodel on your own. In some cases, this can be true. It can however end up costing you more in the long run.

Hiring a contractor can be a lifesaver when issues arise, particularly structural, electrical or plumbing problems. It’s very rare that a remodel is as simple as just painting and tiling, especially in older homes. A contractor will save you a lot of time, money, and frustration. They’ll make sure the work is done right, providing peace of mind that your kitchen remodel is going to stay in good working order for years to come.

Just because you have a tight budget or a small space doesn’t mean you can’t have a beautiful kitchen. With our small or large kitchen remodel ideas, we can help you create a space you’ll love, one that will truly be the heart of your home.
