Hi,
I've noticed the shower head in my master bath has been dripping for a while, including long after the shower is turned off. I had the springs in the faucets replaced, but that only resolved the problem for a couple months. I'd like to try to figure the cause before the drips become a leak, and ideally a more permanent solution.
The details.
The shower is a dual handle walk in, with quarter turn faucets. There is a handheld hose/showerhead attached to the outlet pipe (or whatever the term for the pipe from the wall where the head connects is). Even if I drain the showerhead (extend the hose and hold it upside down, and then loosen the hose connection at the mounting bracket) - it will still drip occasionally through the day.
Not being the most plumbing oriented, are faucet springs different from replacing the full faucet cartridge?
And based on the description (hopefully it has enough details), might the cartridge be the issue? Or is there something more?
Thanks!
