Nozzles that clog

Shower heads have dozens of tiny openings, and very hard water closes them one by one. The spray turns uneven and needle-like.

Soaking helps for a while. Many people choose a new head; WaterSense-labeled models are capped at 2.0 gallons per minute and must pass spray tests (EPA).

Spouts and diverters

If water keeps coming out of the tub spout when you pull the diverter, the diverter gate inside has worn or scaled. On most tubs the fix is a new spout.

We check whether yours threads on or slips on with a set screw, then match it.

A drip from the head after shutoff

That usually comes from the valve in the wall, not the head. Cartridges in hard-water areas wear faster, and replacing one requires knowing the valve brand.

A photo of the handle and trim plate helps us identify it.

Common questions in Monterey Park

Will vinegar fix my shower head?

It can clear light scale. Heavily crusted heads are usually cheaper to replace.

Can a dripping spout be fixed without opening the wall?

Yes. Spouts come off at the wall and the new one goes on the same pipe.
