FIXTURE PLUMBING / SHOWER FAUCET
Leaking Shower Faucet Repair
STOP THE DRIP AT ITS SOURCE.
A shower faucet that keeps dripping after the handle is off can waste water and may signal wear inside the valve. We identify the faucet type and inspect the likely failure before recommending a repair or replacement.

Leaking Shower Faucet Repair: When To Call A Plumber
Water from the showerhead after shutoff can come from a worn cartridge, valve seal, or another internal component. Moisture at the handle or trim can point to a different connection. The faucet brand, model, age if known, and whether hot, cold, or both controls behave differently help identify service parts. If water is entering a wall, describe any staining or dampness so access needs are considered early.

Ted P.Best Quality Plumbing has been on point for us. Sergio came out when we needed help with the faucet in the washer and dryer room; he came out when no one else could. We then had him install our Moen shut off valve and he did a wonderful job at a good price (he gave me a 10% discount for being a veteran). I highly recommend him with no hesitation. Thank you Sergio!Read review on Yelp
Anjum QureshiSergio came within 30 minutes of calling the company. He diagnosed the problem with my shower control valve quickly. He repaired it with a new cartridge. He also replaced my main water valve. He cleaned up after he was done with the job. I highly recommend this company.Read review on Google
WHAT WE'LL CHECK
Your Leaking Shower Faucet Repair Options
We review the trim and handle arrangement, observe where water appears, and check accessible shutoff arrangements. Some valves can be serviced with a compatible cartridge; others may be discontinued, damaged, or difficult to reach. We explain what can be confirmed and whether a repair, valve replacement, or further access is appropriate.
Replace A Serviceable Internal Part
If the valve body is sound and a compatible part is available, servicing the cartridge or seal can address the drip.
Replace The Valve Assembly
A damaged or incompatible valve may call for replacement, which requires planning for shutoff, access, connections, and trim fit.

GOOD TO KNOW
Leaking Shower Faucet Repair
Questions Answered.
Have a question about your plumbing? These answers cover what we’re often asked.
Why does my shower faucet drip after it is turned off?
A worn cartridge or seal is common, though the valve type and condition determine the actual cause. A brief residual drip can differ from a persistent leak.
Can a dripping shower faucet be repaired without replacing the valve?
Often a compatible cartridge or seal can be serviced if the valve body is in good condition and the part is available. Inspection determines whether that is practical.
How do I know which shower cartridge I have?
Brand markings and trim style can help, but internal parts often require identification after access. Avoid ordering a part based on appearance alone.
Can a shower faucet leak damage the wall?
A leak at the handle or valve can allow moisture behind trim. Persistent dampness or staining should be described so the connection and surrounding area can be assessed.
