Almost nothing is quite as annoying as the discovery that your shower or bath club has sprung a leak. Unless you find the leak in its inception you have no idea how long the leak may have been happening and how much water may have accumulated underneath the shower or bath tub. Water can travel great distances within houses structure and you may be looking at quite massive bills to deal with the fallout from even a very small leak.

 

One of the most common areas that shower or bath tub can leak from is the faucet leading into it. Often this is due to the O-rings or rubber washers that form part of the faucet wearing out with time. In order to replace this part you will first need to disconnect the faucet from the bath or shower and this can sometimes be very difficult. Oftentimes a buildup of hard water deposits encrusts the faucet and makes it very difficult to remove but with patients it can be done.

 

Always be sure to switch off the water at the main before you undergo any major plumbing work. This will prevent untoward accidents from occurring while you are working on your bath or shower. If you find that the water damage has become too much for you to deal with on your own you should call in a water damage restoration company to help you with the work. These professionals will not only deal with the issue but also take away the stress of the situation from you.
